Lyrics for I Couldn't Love You as interpreted by semanticantics

I Couldn't Love You Lyrics
Love may be man-made
But it must exist
It's what you want the most
And most resist
Love's polluted
No, no, it's pure
It's convoluted
One thing I could say for sure
I couldn't love you anymore

I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore

It's a game of fetch
We'll never win
You throw me out
It brings us back
You throw me out again
Loves an affliction
No, it's a cure
It's a contradiction that harms and heals
Adores and abhors
I couldn't love you anymore

I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore

Love is a tantrum
Love is an interlude
Love is an instinct
Not now, dear, I'm not in the mood anymore

No, no, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's no big deal
It's not worth losing sleep
You over-analyze
The simplest things
Love's what you take
But can never give
Love's what you hate
You'll never figure out what it's for
I couldn't love you anymore

I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore

An amazing song, probably better than anything off of Happy Hollow, up there with the best of Ugly Organ & Domestica. It's so good to hear that Cursive still got it and then some.

Something interesting I just realized: This could be, "I couldn't love you anymore" or, "I couldn't love you any more." Opposite meanings. Maybe intentional, maybe I'm reading too much into it. But it seems like a conflicted song, and they made sure to leave that word off the title.

Oh yeah, the double meaning I think is intended, Kasher loves wordplay. I love the intro to this song, and it definitely reminds me of Happy Hollow in a good way.

This album is really growing on me, but I think this is my favorite track as of right now along with "Caveman." I really like how a theme in this cd is going back to nature and almost primitivism with sex, de-evolution, and lack of emotion.

It could be:

I couldn't love you any more
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you any more
I couldn't love you anymore

I love this song. Especially when he sings, "Not now, dear, I'm not in the mood anymore." It's such a perfect climax and the sounds...
