Lyrics…Lyrics…

And it's only doubts that we're countingAnd it's only doubts that we're counting

On fingers broken long agoOn fingers broken long ago

I read with every broken heart we should becomeI read with every broken heart we should become

More adventurousMore adventurous

And if you banish me from your profitsAnd if you banish me from your profits

And if I get banished from the kingdom up aboveAnd if I get banished from the kingdom up above

I'd sacrifice money and heaven all for loveI'd sacrifice money and heaven all for love

Let me be loved, let me be lovedLet me be loved, let me be loved

This song shows obvious themes of love

Shows themes of moving on together (if they’re counting on broken fingers it can be implied that they have had fights and got over them)

Like a fairytale

And if my brain quits, well I guess then that's just And if my brain quits, well I guess then that's just itit

And if my hands stop working you can call me And if my hands stop working you can call me lazylazy

And if I get pregnant, I guess I'll just have the And if I get pregnant, I guess I'll just have the babybaby

Let it be loved, let me be lovedLet it be loved, let me be loved

This is repeated a lot in the song and so we have chosen this to be our song title

I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've got a broken neckI've got a broken neck

Wanting to say I will as my last testamentWanting to say I will as my last testament

For me to be saved and you to be brave For me to be saved and you to be brave

We don't have to walk down that aisleWe don't have to walk down that aisle

'Cause if marriage ain't enough'Cause if marriage ain't enough

Well at least we'll be lovedWell at least we'll be loved

Love

Repetition again

Informal use of language- down to earth character (artist)

I felt the wind on my cheek coming down from I felt the wind on my cheek coming down from the eastthe east

And thought about how we are all as numerous And thought about how we are all as numerous as leaves on treesas leaves on trees

And maybe ours is the cause of all mankindAnd maybe ours is the cause of all mankind

Give love to make more, try to stay aliveGive love to make more, try to stay alive

Themes of autumn, outdoors

I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've got a broken neckI've got a broken neck

Wanting to say I will as my last testamentWanting to say I will as my last testament

For you to be saved and me to be brave For you to be saved and me to be brave

We don't have to walk down that aisleWe don't have to walk down that aisle

'Cause if marriage ain't enough'Cause if marriage ain't enough

Well at least we'll be lovedWell at least we'll be loved

Repetition, like a poem perhaps even like a lullaby (childlike yet it flows, this helps understand why the target audience is women
