I've tried to hold this back so long
And we're always such a good thing when it's gone
Would it be alright if we just left our hands tonight?
Take me away from this old game
Of saying we're both too much the same
Would it be alright if I just stay with you tonight?
And before I go, will I ever see you again?
She said love only knows
Love only knows if we'll give in to fear
And choose life undercover
She said love only knows if it's special enough
That we'll choose one another, choose each other
You were the secret I loved to keep
The name I would only sing in my sleep
Would it be alright if we just lose ourselves tonight?
And if you let go, will you reach out again?
She said love only knows
Love only knows if we'll give in to fear
And choose life undercover
She said love only knows if it's special enough
That we'll choose one another, choose each other
I can't breathe without you and I don't
And I can't live without love and I won't
And I won't
Love only knows if we'll give in to fear
And choose life undercover
She said love only knows if it's special enough
That we'll choose one another
Oh, love only knows how your arms pull me in
Like the tide pulls me under
She said love only knows just how long we can run
Before we lose each other
And we need each other
And I can't live without you and I won't
