Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was lost in thought when it all began

I was in my zone, busy makin' plans

I was mindin' my own, you were walkin' past

Only a moment, but there was somethin'

[Verse 2]

Didn't know what I was feelin'

But the adrenaline just rushed through my veins

The message and the meaning

When you hear two hearts are beatin' the same

[Verse 3]

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

You can't afford to let go, oh

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

It's when your love you control

[Verse 4]

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

You can't afford to let go, oh

[Verse 5]

Yeah I loved before, but I was far too scared

But I found my feet on the ground right there

It's like you looked inside my head, knew all my past regrets

Gave me a healin', some kind of freedom

[Verse 6]

Didn't know what I was feelin'

But the adrenaline just rushed through my veins

The message and the meaning

When you hear two hearts are beatin' the same

[Verse 7]

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

You can't afford to let go, oh

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

It's when your love you control

[Verse 8]

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

You can't afford to let go, oh

[Verse 9]

I was in the dark

I was in my own way

Funny little heart

You feel, you feel it some day

Shoulda know it from the start

It's all gain with no pain

When you hear two hearts are beating the same

[Verse 10]

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

You can't afford to let go, oh

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

It's when your love you control

[Verse 11]

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

You can't afford to let go, oh

[Verse 12]

When you know what love is

When you know what love is

You can't afford to let go
