Only Love Lyrics – Joe Jonas

Only Love Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer describes the world as chaotic and unpredictable, where there’s a certain type of girl who’s popular and confident. Meanwhile, he’s more introverted, a shy boy unsure of how to navigate these situations.

[Keep?]
The singer talks about being in a tricky situation, where past heartbreaks have left him feeling unmotivated and wary of getting hurt again. He feels like he’s stuck in a cycle, where some people try to bring him back to his past, or “factory settings.”

[Chorus]
In the chorus, the girl reassures him, telling him that love is not something to fear. It’s just love, something everyone needs, even though it might feel intense or overwhelming.

[We’re needing?]
She acknowledges that love can feel like a powerful force, like a drug. Despite past heartbreak, she encourages him not to shut himself off from love. It’s not the end, just a part of the experience.

[Verse 2]
This verse describes a cold night where the singer reflects on his past and his present feelings. He seems to be looking for control, but also acknowledges that he is caught between being old enough to understand things yet still young enough to enjoy life.

[But old?]
He feels capable of taking control of his situation, combining his youthful energy with the wisdom of his older self.

[You’re?]
The singer mentions the idea of a typical 9-to-5 life, but he doesn’t want to be stuck in that routine. He’s searching for something deeper, not just a predictable, mundane life.

[Great?]
He’s aware that he doesn’t want to conform to societal expectations or foundations. Instead, he’s trying to maintain a sense of freedom and excitement, even if the situation around him feels overwhelming or off-track.

[Chorus]
Once again, the girl reminds him that it’s just love, and despite the struggles he’s faced before, love is not something to shut down or be afraid of.

[We’re needing?]
She repeats that love might seem like a dangerous thing, especially if you’ve been hurt before, but closing yourself off to it is not the solution. It’s a reminder that love is just love, and it’s worth the risk.

[Bridge]
In this part, the singer feels deeply connected to the girl. His emotions are intense, and he’s completely caught up in the moment, as if she has a strong hold on him. He acknowledges that it’s just love driving these powerful feelings.

[Chorus]
She again reassures him, reinforcing the idea that love is a natural, necessary force. Even if it feels complicated or risky, it’s still just love, something everyone needs.

[We’re needing?]
This line reiterates the idea that love may feel overwhelming, especially after past heartaches, but she encourages him to remain open and not shut himself off. Love is something that should be embraced, not avoided.

[Outro]
In the outro, the singer is completely immersed in the feeling of love. His heart is in a “headlock,” suggesting he’s been taken over by his emotions, and the phrase “make the bed talk” hints at the deep, intimate connection they share. Despite any uncertainty or past pain, it all comes down to one thing—it’s only love.
