Lyrics of Only Love by Alkaline Trio
intro
Whoa, oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh
verse
How young are you gonna be when you die?
I guess I never really thought about that
You're dying when you start thinking like that
All I know is time is undefeated so far
verse
Get right with God before it's time
I hear the telephone works both ways
Think you can make a little effort some day?
I got an awful lot going on with the things that I can see
pre-chorus
And what I see are the reasons that I bleed
And the blood I give to her, and her
That's all there is
chorus
It's only love that keeps us here
And this food and these drinks, they're all poison
Oh, and life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
Whoa, oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh
verse
Separate these lies like there's a truth
How do you know and who the hell told you?
You've all been lying since you murdered my youth
I know you're gonna take what's left, but you'll never see me run
pre-chorus
No, here I am
Can you see what's in these hands?
It's everything I need to see, to breathe, to feel
chorus
It's only love that keeps us here
And this food and these drinks, they're all poison
Oh, and life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
bridge
I lie awake on this earth
I lay with all that I love
And all I need on this earth
Not what's below or above
chorus
Oh, it's only love that keeps us here
And this food and these drinks, they're all poison
Oh, and life is death
So die well with some good distractions
At the end there is only love
At the end there is only love
Whoa, oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh
