I thought love meant hurting
For it to be working just right
And I thought love meant holding
Onto the very thing
That clipped those wings from flight
And I thought love meant giving up
The little glow that makes you whole
And I thought love meant being
Someone else you don’t know
Now I am learning love can feel easily free
You show me how simple and how light it oughta be
I’m not sure I’ll ever know just how to name the thing
That takes me through the ether
Past the sky, out past everything
I thought love
