Chords for verse: Fmaj7 Em Chords for chorus:        EADGBE D      X0777X Fmaj7  X33210 Em     022000 (verse) It has often been my dream To live with one     who wasn’t there Like an ocean fish     who swam upstream Through nets     by hooks and hungry bears. When the water grew less deep My fins were aching     from the strain I’m swimming in my sleep I know I can’t go back again. (chorus) Got the will to love     the will to love. I’ll never lose it     never lose the will to love Never lose the will. It’s like     something from up above. I can be like     a fire in the night Always warm     and giving off light But there comes a time     when I shine too bright Oh I’m just a fire in the night. And now my fins are in the air And my belly’s     scraping on the rocks I still think     someone really cares And I’ll keep swimming     till I stop. Got the will to love     the will to love. I’ll never lose it     never lose the will to love Never lose the will. It’s like     something from up above. I’m like a singer on the stage With the golden lights     and liquid rage Down from the mountains     to the sea Cool running love     keeps cleansing me. It keeps my gills     from getting dry But it distorts things     in my eyes Sometimes I see     what really isn’t there Like my true lover and I care. Got the will to love     the will to love. I’ll never lose it     never lose the will to love Never lose the will. It’s like     something from up above. Sometimes I ramble on and on And I repeat myself     till all my friends are gone And get lost in snow     and drown in rain And never feel the same again. I remember the ocean     from where I came Just one of millions all the same But somewhere     someone calls my name I’m a harpoon dodger     and I can’t won’t be tamed. Got the will to love     the will to love. I’ll never lose it     never lose the will to love Never lose the will. It’s like     something from up above. Baby if I see boredom     in your eyes I’ll know my river has run dry But I won’t turn back     with that lonely tide I bought that ticket     and I’ll take that ride. If we meet along the way Please sway beside me     let us sway together Our tails together     and our fins and mind We’ll leave this water     and let our scales shine In the sun above     and the sky below So all the water     and earth will know It has often been my dream To live with one     who wasn’t there.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le désir profond d'amour, présenté à travers la métaphore d'un poisson qui lutte pour remonter un cours d'eau. L'artiste parle de ses luttes et des défis qu'il rencontre, mais malgré cela, il exprime une détermination inébranlable à aimer et à chercher la connexion. Même au milieu des difficultés et des illusions, il garde espoir que quelqu'un se soucie de lui et continue d'avancer. Le contexte semble s’inscrire dans une quête existentielle où la recherche de l'amour véritable est centrale. Les images de la nature et de l'eau créent un cadre poétique qui illustre les hauts et les bas de cette aventure. Au fond, c'est un hymne à la persistance et à l'authenticité des sentiments, même face à l'adversité.
