Here we are
In the maelstrom of love
Waiting for the call
To sooth our hearts
Here we are
And don't know how to stop
Waiting for the war
To end it all

Love is insane and baby
We are too
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds
Love is insane and baby
So we too, yeah
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds

Here we are
Right back where we began
Waiting for sweet love
With open arms
Here we are
Just like before
Waiting for the wounds
Of that tender storm

Love is insane and baby
We are too
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds
Love is insane and baby
So we too, yeah
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds

Love is insane and baby
We are too
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds
Love is insane and baby
So we too, yeah
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds

Love is insane and baby
We are too
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds
Love is insane and baby
So we too, yeah
It's our hearts little grave
And the salt in our wounds

The salt in our wounds
The salt in our wounds

    General Comment:I love the vocalist of Him (sorry, don't know his name) but I love how deep his voice is. It's so peaceful to listen to. When I first heard this song (before I heard Him) I thought it was going to like bust out into hard core metal or something. lol. When it got to the chorus I was pleasantly surprised. This is a great song about love and it makes me really happy to listen to. :D

    In the maelstrom of Love
    Waiting for the calm
    To soothe our hearts..."

    One of my all time favorite HIM lyrics. Not only does his voice sound like butter when he sings this part, but its so deliberately perfect. Ville is such a poet.

    General Comment:This song litteraly means love is like putting salt in your wounds. Doing this is extreamly painful!

    "Love is insane and Baby
    We are too
    It's our hearts little grave
    And the salt in our wounds"

    Love is crazy and unpredictable. Loves blinds us and makes us do foolish things and because of this sometimes we set ourselves up for heartache. Or things just go wrong. When this happens we are putting the salt in our wounds.
