Something More Than Love

from The Other Side by Ionne

/

lyrics

We were not gold
We were not fire
No one’s desire
No, never Titans
But we had built a road
A way to find the peace we’re looking for

A prince, a toad
A heavy load
A heart of lead
And out of time
A wasted miracle
Still something to behold
Had alchemized

And turned this book into
A cheap parody
The games we played made
Me afraid to turn the page

With you

Their war-torn souls
Their time expired
Your brand-new fire
I watch in silence
And wait beside the road
Because I'm never keen on keeping score

The prince, the toad
You bear the load
The heavy the crown
That I require
It's worth its weight in gold
But doesn't fill the hole
I feel inside

I'm thirsty for your touch
That sweet remedy
The god I worshipped
When my designs had failed

Long may be the night
But go on, go on living
Heal their wounded sight
And keep on, keep on giving
Fill my world with light
And special, special feelings
Talk to me tonight
Cause I need
I need something more than love

Their war-torn souls
Their time expired
A thousand fires
But not one Titan
I wait beside the road
Because I'm never keen on keeping score

The prince, the toad
You bear the load
The heavy the crown
That I require
It's worth its weight in gold
But doesn't fill the hole
I feel inside

I long to hear your voice
That sweet melody
Like rushing waters
From blessed lips I praised

Long may be the night
But go on, go on living
Heal their wounded sight
And keep on, keep on giving
Fill my world with light
And special, special feelings
Talk to me tonight
Cause I need
I need something more than love

You need
We need
I need something more than love

The world needs
We need
I need something more than love
