Lyrics

True Love (For Now)

I tasted a hundred friends of mine on your lips
I never saw a single sunset out on that strip
If it was love
If it was love
Then let me know

Our hearts are destroyed but our bodies survive
Condemned to live for the rest of our lives
If it was love
If it was love
Then let me know

Are these really the days and nights
We used to read about
We used to dream about
I never saw it turning out this way

A quarter life crisis teen Dionysus
Collapsed in the back of a car
I never saw it turning out this way

It's my blood that you want
It's my blood that you need
Then ask me where I'll be tonight
And listen carefully
It's my blood that you want
It's my blood that you need
If it was love then it was love
But if it was not then let me go

And there's no light at the end of the night
But you were never afraid of the dark
I never saw it turning out this way

It's my blood that you want
It's my blood that you need
Then ask me where I'll be tonight
And listen carefully
It's my blood that you want
It's my blood that you need
If it was love then it was love
But if it was not then let me go

Hold me, let's fake a memory
Pretend it was all real
And we never got bored and we never got lonely
This time, your dreams are not mine
My future's not yours
But if this isn't love, tell me, what is?
