INGRID MICHAELSON

- How We Love Lyrics

I knew a man who was afraid to love
to lay his heart on the bathroom rug
he drank his coffee in the same old mug
and sat in silence 'til the world fell numb
until the day when a girl came by
she had eyes like the rising tide
he felt a sharpness deep inside
the kind of ache that can't be satisfied

we hate the rain when it fills up our shoes
but how we love when it washes our cars
we love to love when it fills up the room
but when it leaves oh we're cursing the stars

so he turned to the radio
and he went to a picture show

tried to find someone else who knows
all the hurt that a heart can hold
she smelled like cinnamon and winter clove
and sparked like firewood inside a stove
wanted to ask her just to sit and stay
instead he watched as she walked away

we hate the rain when it fills up our shoes
but how we love when it washes our cars
we love to love when it fills up the room
but when it leaves oh we're cursing the stars

we hate the rain when it fills up our shoes
but how we love when it washes our cars
we love to love when it fills up the room
but when it leaves oh we're cursing the stars

What is the meaning behind How We Love lyrics?


When we focus on what the lyrics are trying to say, Ingrid Michaelson's song 'How We Love' narrates the experience of a person who was not willing to love until finally, he/she/they met the person who set off the feelings that could not be resisted. The lyrics operate a metaphor of rain in defining love as a force that can bring the two opposite states, joy and pain, thus underlining the intricacies and paradoxes of love affairs. In one way or another, the lyrics of how we love convey mostly love, heartbreak, angst, solitude, and joy. Furthermore, the song touches on the fear of love, the perplexity that comes with love and heartbreak, and the longing that often accompanies those feelings. What the lyrics express is mainly about love and emotional struggle, a situation which probably calls for parental guidance when it comes to very young children. Although there are no direct mentions of violence, sex or drug use, the depth and complexity of emotions in the song might not be good for very young audiences yet.
