[Verse 1]
Nothing like being in love with
Somebody honest, somebody kind
Someone who can be patient
Stands for the right things, stands by your side

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know now you were never any of that
I was the front line, you were retreating
Top of my lungs, I was calling you back

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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
