I was on 45th
I was half out of a dive
Yeah I knew that you saw me
You laughed when I looked back
I thought I'd given up
Now I didn't feel so bad
And then a shock went through me
And then I walked right back
Do you want to get understood?
Do you want one thing or are you looking for sainthood?
Do you run when it's just getting good?
Or do you, do you, do you, do you
Someone get Popsicle
Someone's gotta do something bout this heat
Cause it's late in October
And tar's still melting in the streets
You tiptoe for ages and lose yourself
Flipping back pages, unbuckling belts
Oh love, that's the way love comes
Do you, don't you know that that's the way love comes?
Do you feel it black and blue?
Or do you, do you, do you, do you
I was half out of a dive
Yeah I knew that you saw me
You laughed when I looked back
I thought I'd given up
Now I didn't feel so bad
And then a shock went through me
And then I walked right back
Do you want one thing or are you looking for sainthood?
Do you run when it's just getting good?
Or do you, do you, do you, do you
Someone's gotta do something bout this heat
Cause it's late in October
And tar's still melting in the streets
You tiptoe for ages and lose yourself
Flipping back pages, unbuckling belts
Do you, don't you know that that's the way love comes?
Do you feel it black and blue?
Or do you, do you, do you, do you

i really like this song. part of it reminds me of unrequited love:
I thought I'd given up Now I didn't feel so bad And then a shock went through me And then I walked right back
when you love someone who you know doesn't love you back, you'll try to let go of it. And then you'll do something as simple as meet their eyes and be swept right back up again, no matter how useless it is.
also "do you, don't you know that that's the way love comes? do you feel it black and blue?"
love is so good but it hurts a lot. i could be wrong but that's what it reminds me of
For me personally it’s realizing that you look for love ( in the wrong places ) and it’s telling you instead of holding onto the past situations & people just let go and “that’s the way love comes”. Also getting clear on what you want in a partner “Do you want to be understood? Are you looking for one thing or are you looking for sainthood” it’s saying that if you’re not certain of what you’re wanting you’re going to attract the same people that aren’t good for you. I just want to say too, whoever listens to this song and feels any type of lack with themselves...love will find you and you’re worthy! Just focus on what’s important and the rest will come when you’re ready.
