show me the meaning of love

i'd walk a thousand miles to you

if i had no other way

and tell you how i feel

if i could find the words to say

i'd build you up a temple

keep you safe inside

when everything's upon you

it will be your place to hide

and now with you i know

sometimes the very thing you run from

is that thing you need the most

you know i'd die for you

these words i swear are true

just when i'd given up

you showed me the meaning of love

there's nothing i won't do

i'd steal all the stars for you

just when i'd had enough

you showed me the meaning of love

of love

i crossed all seven oceans

and i fought a hundred wars

but through the sea of faces

it was fate that brought me yours

i built these walls around me

my heart safe inside

but your wave crashed upon me

what was lost you helped me find

once bittersweet and lonely

now i feel alive

you know i'd die for you

these words i swear are true

just when i'd given up

you showed me the meaning of love

there's nothing i won't do

i'd steal all the stars for you

just when i'd had enough

you showed me the meaning of love

i've opened my eyes

let in your light

i've run out of time

you keep me hanging on

you keep me hanging on

you know i'd die for you

these words i swear are true

just when i'd given up

you showed me the meaning of love

there's nothing i won't do

i'd steal all the stars for you

just when i'd had enough

you showed me the meaning of love

of love
