Never Knew Love

[Chorus]

I never knew love could be like this

I never knew love could be like this

I go around thinking I'm a genius

But I never knew love could be like this

[Verse 1]

Cartography is not my métier

And the mountainside of daydreams too steep for me today

Lovers lost before us and most did not return

The few so hale and hearty now broken down and burned

[Chorus]

I never knew love could be like this

Was anyone else but me surprised?

How anything happens is mysterious

And I never knew love could be like this

[Verse 2]

Biography is all they understand

No semaphore or secrets or just good old pretend

And now they all are sleeping, but this keeps us awake

These words, they need safekeeping, a promise not to break

[Chorus]

I never knew love could be like this

I never knew love could be like this

I go around thinking I'm a genius

But I never knew love

Has there ever been love?

Oh, I never knew love could be like this
