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

Take me away from this old game
Saying that we’re both too much the same

It be alright, if I just stayed 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 chose life undercover
She said love only knows
If it’s special enough then 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 chose life undercover
She said love only knows, if it’s special enough then 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 under cover
She said love only knows if it’s special enough then we’ll choose one another
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

Another beautiful, thoughtful song from Illuminations. Can hardly choose just one favorite. Best album so far! "Love only knows". Inspiration?

It's really amazing and very true, Josh you have touched my heart by this extra ordinary description of such a nice love story

Compassionately beautiful... " And I can’t live without you and I won’t"..i love this line OMJ.

losing a grip on love...They say that if you love something set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was. This song follows that logic I think.

WOW!!! What an incredibly romantic, yet haunting song. Love the lyrics, the music...love everything about it.

There's much love in the lyrics of this song... And I can't live without love and I won't...

story of my life at the moment (: "you were the secret I loved to keep. the name I would only sing in my sleep". yup. great job, josh - one of my favorites on the album!

"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" ....this part chokes me up. I feel the desperation. Its like it straight from my heart.Beautiful song!

This is my favourite song on Illuminations. Really beautiful! When I hear it, it always grabs my soul and wring it. As you sad Josh, the grey zones of love.
