While We're In Love Lyrics

Cover art for While We're In Love lyrics by Ivy

i read it as her telling a lover at the beginning of the relationship where everything is going. It's a destructive relationship "we know it won't last forever" or maybe a relationship they shouldn't be in "'cause we not meant to be together." Yet they're in love and can't help but fall for each other.

I like the first few lines which seem to say so much about love. it's a different angle on how love and relationships pan out, but still true for all it's negative qualities:

"While we're in love we'll bleed each other dry/We'll hold each other close/We'll make each other cry/While we're in love we'll get what we deserve until we lose our faith/until we lose our nerve. "

It's like saying, 'we'll love each other until we can't handle it anymore.' 'we'll love and care for each other, despite knowing that things may well end.

The lines: "While we're in love we'll get what we deserve/until we lose our faith/until we lose our nerve" speak to me. The idea that we can love someone to the point where we become scared of losing them, question whether we begin to lose ourselves in a relationship, or begin to question our own love for them, to the point where we find ourselves ending something out of fear.

this song seems to say to me all the fears and concerns that we have when we fall in love. in some ways she's probably also trying to reassure herself, or talk herself into going into this relationship in the first place.
