lyrics

If love’s a lake, then I fell in
And lost my goggles before the swim.
My eyes were closed –
Too scared to move, I froze there.

If love’s a flame, I’d burn my nose
While gazing in, while getting close
Enough to know it’s there –
Enough to know it’s burning.

But love is not a flame
And no matter how I try to lasso its meaning,
It always escapes.
Like writing stories without words
Or writing songs without a name.

But if love were a game, I’d like to win.
And if there were teams, I’d like a friend –
But now it seems like everybody’s scheming.

I’d want somebody who wants me.
Who closes his eyes so he can see
I want someone who will never stop dreaming.

But love is not a game
And no matter how I try to lasso its meaning,
It always escapes.
Like writing stories without out words
Or writing songs without a name.

And love is not a game
Oh but, baby, if it were
Everything about it would still feel the same.
‘Cause, baby, after all, what is in a name?
