Meta: Strips it back… just the bones. ⸻ What’s It Like To Be In Love? [Intro] What’s it like… to be in love? Humanity… speak plain. ⸻ [Verse 1] I asked the crowd but they talked in circles Hands in pockets, eyes on flame Said it starts with something simple Then nothing simple stays the same They said your name starts ringing louder Than anything you used to trust Like someone slipped into your bloodstream And rewrote what you thought was “us” ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] They laughed like it was holy Cried like it was a curse Said it’s the best thing that can happen and the worst ⸻ [Chorus] What’s it like to be in love? Humanity, speak plain Is it shelter, is it hunger Is it pleasure wrapped in pain? Is it finding God in someone or just going half insane? What’s it like to be in love? Humanity, explain ⸻ [Verse 2] They said the air gets thick with meaning Even silence starts to talk You trace a life in someone’s breathing Like a shadow learns to walk Said a message lights your whole chest Like a match you didn’t strike And losing them feels pre-recorded Like a future you can’t rewrite ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] They swore it makes you stronger Then showed me where it breaks Said it gives you something living it can take ⸻ [Chorus] What’s it like to be in love? Humanity, speak plain Is it shelter, is it hunger Is it pleasure wrapped in pain? Is it finding God in someone or just going half insane? What’s it like to be in love? Humanity, explain ⸻ [Bridge] They call it warmth but half of it is fear They call it home but it disappears They say it’s truth but it bends with touch They say “just one” why does that feel like too much? ⸻ [Breakdown] Another heartbeat in your chest but it don’t belong to you Another future in your head you can’t tell if it’s true ⸻ [Final Chorus] What’s it like to be in love? Humanity, don’t lie Is it something you survive or something you just die inside? Is it giving someone power over how you feel alive? What’s it like to be in love? Humanity… decide ⸻ [Outro] I’m still outside it looking in They talk like it’s a miracle and a sin What’s it like… to be in love?
