[Verse 1]
I stepped off the plane and you weren't leanin' against the wall like you had before
In that instant I knew I'd never hear you come back through my door
There's no shiny place that I can go where losin' doesn't hurt like this
Of all the space you said we need to take it won't change what I meant

[Refrain]
Only wanted to love and to be loved
I only wanted to love and to be loved

[Verse 2]
[Want my body shattered with song?] and buried in the earth
Truth is we never saw eye to eye on what love was really worth
And I carried this torch across the ocean for you
Yeah I carried this torch across the ocean

[Refrain]
Only wanted to love and to be loved
I only wanted to love and to be loved

[Bridge]
There's water in the basement
You take your supper on the stairs
Lately we don't talk about it
We don't talk
No we don't
[Refrain]
Only wanted to love and to be loved
Only wanted to love and to be loved
I only wanted to love and to be loved
I only wanted to love and to be loved
