Never Knew Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Cartography
Is not my métier
And the mountainsides 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
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
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
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
