Ben Gibbard - Bigger Than Love lyrics

rate me

[Chorus]

It’s bigger than love

Brighter than all the stars combined

It’s dwarfing the sun

Burning within my heart and mind

I live with my memories

The bustle and fervor of New York

We’re on 59th street

We quarelled and broke the bathroom door

Cause you were just drinking

Drinking till you could hardly see

Of how much I loved you

But I couldn’t bring myself to these

[Chorus]

It’s bigger than love

Brighter than all the stars combined

Dwarfing the sun

Burning within my heart and mind

Our summers in paris,

the sena overflowing with champagne

And I knew you stopped down

But you knew that I have done the same

If we had a child then

We couldn’t raise her on our own

So our house got crowded

And I never felt so whole alone

[Chorus] x 2

It’s bigger than love

Brighter than all the stars combined

Dwarfing the sun

Burning within my heart and mind

Stranded in ashville

Failing to fix the broken head

You’re in california

Doing the work of lesser men

But what of our daughter

What of the love that we once shared

It’s living in silence,

Battered but not beyond repair

Our fate decry,

A singularity

A solemn tune

I plaid the night we danced around the room

[Chorus] x 2

It’s bigger than love

Brighter than all the stars combined

Dwarfing the sun

Burning within my heart and mind.
