lyrics
I saw a shape that looked like you
and your shapes of love, and your shapes of love
just like your eyes it was sky blue
like your shades of love, your shades of love (your shades of love)
we’re just two parallels lines destined to be apart
so liked vertices lets converge together to take the form of a heart
your shapes of love, your shapes of love,
they bring me up they bring me down your shapes of love
your shapes of love, your shapes of love,
don’t be so square just standing there your shapes of love
I’ll be what you need me to be
For your shapes of love, for your shapes of love
We’d be unstoppable you and me
We’re made of love, we’re made of love (we’re made of love)
We live two opposite lives I know that’s a fact
But just like magnets north and south poles opposites attract
your shapes of love, your shapes of love,
they bring me up they bring me down your shapes of love
your shapes of love, (your shapes of love) your shapes of love, (your shapes of love)
don’t be so square just standing there your shapes of love
