Colour the empty space
Kiss in a crowded place
Stand in the summer rain
Tangled in awkward shapes
A new, but familiar taste
You're feeling it all again
It's not wrong
To want the world for someone
It's not a feeling you can run from
'Cause we love who we love
So let go
You don't know better than your heart knows
Whether they're here or long gone
We love who we love
Yeah, we love who we love
Footprints along the sand
Whispers of sweet romance
Sound of a wedding band (hmm-mm)
Holding hands in the street
No need to be discreet
Finally feeling free
It's not wrong
To want the world for someone
It's not a feeling you can run from
'Cause we love who we love
So let go
You don't know better than your heart knows
Whether they're here or long gone
Yeah, we love who we love
Yeah, we love who we love
The universe has pulled us closer
I trust whatever's brought me here to you
You can never lose
If love is what you feel then
It's not wrong
To want the world for someone
It's not a feeling you can run from
'Cause we love who we love
So let go (so let go, my love)
You know better than your heart knows
Whether they're here or long gone
We love who we love
Yeah, we love who we love
