Love Means Lyrics - Flying Colours - Shad

Check it, I was thinking bout you 

But I chose to write to God instead, met on the page and broke bread 

Sometimes my heart it is leaden, memories I thought I let forget 

Overestimated power of regret I guess 

I planted seeds and watered in the darkness 

I let a tree blossom in the bottom recesses 

And yet I often wonder how I got into this mess 

Instead of one love it's two lives conflict 

Interested parties catch eyes catch lie fast 

Pick your poison like a blood anointing over sins past 

It can happen when yesterday collides with the present 

Like scratch that I'm not past that, I'm confessing 

I can pass that class, I'd rather not if you're the lesson 

I would take that punishment, risk losing my blessing 

Going crazy over something maybe not be in the essence 

What it seems to me, it seems to me Polyamory beckons 

And I get it, I get why you could love her and me 

Love never claimed exclusivity it is free 

And neither clarity, I wrote this for God to see 

But he knew I was gonna do what I did before me 

And I don't regret a thing, perfect symmetry 

Felt like the way the king intended us to be 

So there's no apologies, no rewinding 

I would do it all again to show 'em what love means

{Love means} 

Some things we're too in to figure out 

{Love means} 

I'm just trynna be fine without knowing it all 

{Love means} 

This puzzle with pieces of 

{Love means} 

Like a glimpse of that right place we fit in 

I told me that I 

Like to write when it's late and I'm sleep deprived 

That's when I'm more inclined to joke and just speak my mind 

As far as what love means well I can read a line 

From the dictionary, but I think I need to redefine 

I need to live it to know it 

That means I gotta give it and let it be given back to grow it 

I gotta sow it to get it, like really get it, I gotta show it 

Not just talk about it like a lot of poets 

A.K.A. moi, you see my day job's 

Talking this romantic philosophic, je ne sais quoi 

And as a lyricist, in my experience 

Love's kind of bugged cause my fears and embarrassments 

This music's who I always had to share it with 

It's like a man that's in love with his therapist 

And the affair is a lie but I'm scared 

Cause to truly care and be cared for bares a risk 

I wake up and I ask God for help 

Then go online if my last song was felt 

I forget about the pain, I'm gassed on myself 

And the goblins in the closet go back on the shelf 

Tryna figure what love means 

Photos 

Understanding, being fully understood, wonderful, pain, keeping no record of wrong, lies, purity, having no fear, all you need, my satisfaction is meeting your needs, loyalty, true freedom, mine, trust, yours, ours, satisfaction, true freedom, praying for your enemies, a safe space to make mistakes 

Love means, check it out yeah 

Love always has hope for another day 

Love is grace, love is patient, even when it doesn't wanna stay 

It doesn't run away, like "andale", it perseveres and suffers pain 

And doesn't suffocate though it holds tight, and it doesn't change 

Though some would say that love is vain 

And it's just a game for the young ones on lovers lane 

Or just the chemistry of the brain 

Just science, you know something sane 

But you know that love is strange and wild and heartbreaking and unexplained 

Love is dangerous as a dark street, tuck your chain 

Our world's going up in flames 

Still love isn't violent, that said it's nothing safe 

Cuz it means standing up to hate 

So love is costly but love can save and I'm of the faith 

But "love your neighbor" isn't a Christian or Muslim phrase 

No one owns it as some brothers claim 

From the pulpit or from the stage and in the coming age 

I hope we'll see it as gay, straight and colorless 

Sometimes we all feel motherless above the grave 

But it's in death and new life when love is made 

It's when you're unashamed and finally unafraid 

When you confront the pain 

Face death and you'll see in the end only love remains
