  • 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 mountain side of daydreams
    Too steep for me today
    Lovers lost before us
    And most did not return
    The few who so held out hardy
    Now going 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
    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 it ever been love?
    Oh, I never knew love could be like this Writer/s: John C Flansburgh, John S Linnell
