You Love Like

Let’s put life on pause:


There’s nothing interesting on


But a tall lonely latte

And the breeze on the freeway

So what’s going on in your head?


Can’t figure out what I did…


You love like you hate life


Are you afraid of something?

I know what you’re like


I’ve seen your insides


I know who you are


I know who you aren’t

There’s no one here

If your eyes are closed


Your hands on the wheel


You love like you’re alone

Everything seems so strange


But you are the stranger

You knock like you’re afraid


That someone will answer

You never want to give in


But you’d like to be forgiven


For only heaven knows what


Will get us to heaven

I know what you’re like


I’ve seen your insides


I know who you are

I know who you aren’t

There’s no one here

If your eyes are closed


Your hands on the wheel


You love like you’re alone
