I've tried to hold this back so long
And we're always such a good thing when it's gone
Would it be alright, if we just left our hands tonight

Take me away from this old game
Of saying we're both too much the same

Would it be alright, if I just stay with you tonight
And before I go, will I ever see you again
She said love only knows

Love only knows
If we'll give into fear and choose life undercover
She said love only knows
If it's special enough that we'll chose one another
We'll chose each other

You were the secret I loved to keep
The name I would only sing in my sleep
Would it be alright, if we just lose ourselves tonight

And if you let go, will you reach out again?
She said love only knows

Love only knows, if we'll give into fear and choose life undercover
She said love only knows, if it's special enough that we'll chose one another
We'll choose each other

And I can't breathe without you and I don't
And I can't live without love and I won't
And I won't

Love only knows
If we'll give into fear and choose life undercover
She said love only knows if it's special enough that we'll choose one another

Oh, love only knows, how your arms pull me in like the tide pulls me under
She said love only knows just how long we can run before we lose each other

And we need each other
And I can't live without you and I won't
