I want to know,
have you ever been in love?
Yeah, I want to know,
have you ever been in love?
Burning bright,
Like the heavens up above?
I\'m not talking about the love that brought a smile,
or made you dream and wander for a while.
I\'m not talking about the love that made you cry,
Or just an ordinary low passing by.
I mean, the sobs where you didn’t feel alone,
When the pain felt sweetest, you had known.
You felt alive when you held her in your mind,
And the thoughts of her were all you had to find.
When you were tired, sad, and worn down,
Feeling heavy in a cold, hollow town?
Feeling broken, sinking deep in the gray,
and no answer to get you through the day?
When a sudden, passing wind began to blow,
and you felt a whisper began to grow.
On the roadside you saw flowers open wide,
Or heard a bird song along the ride.
Like a fever that is sweet and running deep,
An addiction that won’t let a body sleep.
Like smoking grass that steals away the pain,
Giving you a high that rushes through the vein.
Lifting up your heavy soul into the sky,
Making your rainy season go dry.
Turning all your greys into light,
Making you feel clear and bright.
I want to know,
have you ever been in love?
Yeah, I want to know,
have you ever been in love?
Burning bright,
Like the heavens up above?
