White Lies Is Love song lyrics

She stares into the mirror, you're fading with the sun

The hollows in her face like wishing wells

Scarlet as a papercut and jeweled as the Orion

She never wore that jewellery as a girl

She says, "The only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sounds

Is love"

She says, "The only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sounds

Is love"

He stares into the river, heart falling to the drift

An argument of calls moving full steam behind

Bloodshot as a baby and sulking like a valley

Fishing in reflections, killing time

He says, "The only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sounds

Is love"

He says, "The only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sounds

Is love"

It's a bath that's getting cold while you're frozen to your bed

The milk that's going rancid on the table

The panic in the evening, the photos in the dustbin

The pointless items we forgot to label

It's the perfume on her wrist that stinks of easy birthday's

The spare keys like asbestos on the side

It's the cross around his neck, for luck and not for honor

Like diamond over knuckle on a newly married bride

She says, "The only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sounds

Is love"

He says, "The only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sounds

Is love"

I know the only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sounds

Is love

I know the only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sounds

Is love
