I Got This Love Lyrics - Singles - George Watsky

Chorus (Passion) (2X) 

I got this love (3X) 

Because because because because 

verse 1 

because of Jonestown 

because of Auschwitz 

because the leaves fall, and we can't stop it 

but that makes fall leaves, 

I'ma start a mosh pit 

(ch!) this is your captain 

hoppin' out the the cockpit 

I forgot my parachute 

but I got my bay sounds 

so I'll be going dummy 

rocking on the way down 

i'll be sayin' "hey ground!" 

howzabout we make out? 

I'll put on some Ray Brown 

you can grab some take out 

love isn't more sin, love isn't forced in 

getting under your skin, digging for endorphins 

it's the portion some of us'll forgo 

fingers on your torso tapping you in morse code 

the opera aria we're singing like a bar song 

the stranger's pretty face that hits you like a car bomb 

the wrinkled note we passed in class in second grade 

and all it says up on the page (is) 

Chorus 

verse 2 

Because my Grandma lived to 99, eleven months 

between a hundred years of solitude and heaven once 

because she loved her son but couldn't ever say it right 

because the language of the planet isn't day and night 

it's in the in-between 

it's when we intervene 

and never let a silly hater come and pimp the scene 

for the deaf kid in the aisle of the symphony 

who hears it through the rumble of the tuba and the timpani 

For those who lay waste to beauty with a straight face 

everywhere on earth we're all escaping from the same place 

and yes occasionally we get drunk and out of line 

and last night, there's a lamp post that I asked to be my valentine 

take a shady place, shine until it radiates 

seventeen to eighty eight, let's make a break and head west 

or make a promise to your lady in a red dress 

Last night in my hot mess 

That lamp post said yes 

Chorus 

verse 3 

Because Detroit is equal till there's half its people laid off 

While corporate lawyers and former employers play golf 

Because of furor over every juror paid off 

and because the Fhrer used to be a boy named Adolf 

because of Anakin, instead of panickin' 

and for every man that can be more than just a mannequin 

'cause of Tienanmen, because there was a cameraman 

and 'cause of the cameraman chasing princess diana and 

because of Tammany hall because of Gramercy park 

because of amityville and 'cause of amnesty 

'cause of famine and because its not a fantasy 

cause of every tenement tenant tending to family 

tentative to say cause of combs cause of hannity 

homes for humanity the bones of my ancestry 

grown and gone on gravestones and drawn on payphones and palms 

raised up in alms
