Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar, syncopated rhythm]
[Verse 1]
[baritone male vocals]
Hard times have come
You can't see beyond them
Find a way, run away
Steer stone and hurl it fast
Not this wide world, always lasts
Always lasts
[Chorus]
[vocals shift to higher register, tambourine enters]
So it's been I'm in love, I'm in love
She don't know I'm in love, yeah
So it's been I'm in love, I'm in love
She don't know [vocalizing] (oh-oh-oh)
(ho-ho-ho)
She don't know, she don't know and it's just been
I'm in love
[Verse 2]
[acoustic guitar continues, clean electric guitar licks]
Reach out your hand
Help yourself, it's only life
There's nothing else
Maybe when you die, you'll see your friends and family too
[Chorus]
[fuller strumming, kick drum pulse]
I want to be him, baby, baby, baby
I want to be him
I'm in love, I'm in love
So it's been I'm in love
She don't know, she don't know, she don't know, she don't know, she don't know
I'm in love (oh)
I'm in love (oh)
I'm in love (hey)
I'm in love
Cry while you want to
This steam train is gone
It's got all of our bread
We're going to starve of love
Won't you carry on?
[Outro]
[acoustic guitar soloing on chords]
She said it all
Hiding in that smile
Suddenly gone like a whisper
Disappearing so soon
Oh, I'm in love
Oh, I'm in love
Oh, I'm in love
She don't know, no no no no, she don't know, she don't know, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know, she don't know, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know, she don't know, she don't know, she don't know
