"The Shape Of Love" lyrics

Nobody told me love would look like this
Crooked lines and colors out of place
I drew a perfect circle in my mind
But you came in and bent it out of shape

They said it would be easy, clear and bright
But nothing about you has ever been straight
Still I keep coming back to trace the lines
The ones that only you and I create

The shape of love ain't what they say
It bends and breaks and fades away
Then comes back like a tidal wave
Drowning me so beautifully

I tried to map the edges of your heart
Measure every distance, every mile
But love doesn't stay still long enough to measure
It shifts and moves and changes all the while

Maybe perfect was never what I wanted
Maybe broken shapes are just more real
The way you fit into all my jagged corners
Is the only geometry I feel

The shape of love ain't what they say
It bends and breaks and fades away
Then comes back like a tidal wave
Drowning me so beautifully

I stopped trying to define it
Stopped trying to hold it still
The shape of love is you and me
Impossible to hold but I always will

The shape of love
Is you and me
Impossible to hold
But so hard to leave
