Song

And Love

Florence + the Machine

Everybody Scream, 2025, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

And love was not what I thought it was
It crept up on me despite myself
And it was not a love song, it was something else
More like surrendering to something
And more like resting than running
Peace is coming
Peace is coming
Peace is coming
Peace is coming
And love was not what I thought it was
More like an animal crawling deep into a cave
Than a romance novel heroine being swept away
More like surrendering to something
And more like resting than running
Peace is coming
Peace is coming
Peace is coming
And love was not what I thought it was
(Peace is coming, peace is coming)
