Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blow me away
Was that love you declared?
Only a word
Love can mean anything
Understand the world we're livin' in
[Verse 2]
Oceans apart
Watch that view from your wave
Beautiful craft
Weather and change
Understand the world we're livin' in
Love can mean anything
[Verse 3]
God made love to me
Soothed away my gravity
Made me a pair of angel's wings
Clear vision and some magic things
God is love to me
Thank you for those things
Understand the world we're livin' in
Love can mean anything
[Verse 4]
Darlin', I'm open
Unguarded, unbroken
[Verse 5]
Now we've done our time
We can drift away
Like the heavy cloud
With the weight of rain
Understand the world we're livin' in
Love can mean anything
[Verse 6]
Understand the world we're livin' in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world we're livin' in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world we're livin' in
Love can change anything
