"Nothing Like Being In Love" lyrics

Nothing like being in love with somebody honest, somebody kind
Someone who can be patient, stands for the right things, stands by your side

And I know now, you were never any of that
I was the frontline, you were retreating
Top of my lungs I was calling you back
Oh, it was always out in the open and too volatile to touch
So I know now that it was nothing like being in love

Someone is making me smile now, is holding me tight now, and watching me bloom
Someone is water and light now, someone who's not a thing like you

'Cause I know now, I was the redwood, you were the flame
When everything's burning, you're left with the ruins
It's hard to know which one to blame
A million ceasefires bought a little more time, but time was done with us
And I know now, what we had was nothing like being in love

Oh, we went at it blindly, I begged you to find me, but you never knew where to look
Your arms were unbeaten, my small patch of Eden, we weren't right, but God, we were good
No, you never stopped running, and I was always something you just never quite understood

But it's alright, yeah, it's all good
There's nothing like being in love
And you were nothing like being in love
With somebody honest, somebody kind, somebody always by my side
There's nothing like being in love
