Length of Love Lyrics

Cover art for Length of Love lyrics by Interpol

This song, for me, is pretty clear? Its about dating someone you tecnically shouldn't, such as an exs best friend or your friends ex etc. ("I've got friends in need, sweetheart ")

"since we started this thing out" makes it sound like such a big leap. A big decision and a big moment.

In normal circumstances he could start dating this girl and see what happens, they could gradually fall in love etc. but with making such a big leap as to go public with someone he shouldnt be with according to others he has to convince her that, "This could be destiny" and that its worth all the grief they'll get off others.

Hes trying to say that ofcourse those with "Bitter hearts" will always say crap "They will be watching you sometimes With their bitter hearts". But he wants uncomplicated "summer love"
