Miles' open letter that he posted on Twitter before releasing the song, explaining the concept:
This new song “LOVE” is a love song, but about more than just romance. It’s about all the different forms of love. Romantic, familial, platonic – any form of that energy. It’s about passing that energy o...
[Pre-Hook: Aasha & Denzel]
You've been around since day one, when you leave, I'm lost too
Every time I feel my heart beat out of my chest, that's when you speak the truth
Need you, can't erase you, when you leave I chase you
I'm lost in a daze, I hate that I can't ever evade you
[Hook: Aasha & Denzel]
Tell me what you need and I'll be there for you
You got that right, I'll hold you tight
Never thought there could be someone else for me
[Verse 1: Miles]
When I had my head hanging down, I was at my lowest point with no reason to get up in sight
You went & extended a hand, told me that you understand and that everything would be alright
You helped me up at a time where I needed to find for myself what everyone has
You had the energy I needed to get to my feet and return the same favor back
And I thank you for helping, but I need to find that same thing for myself and nobody else's
No more feeling helpless, or thinking of myself as weak & selfish
But still not time to be selfless, not yet, cause for too long I've thought of myself less
And myself as less, I'll be working on myself so I need help less
[Pre-Hook / Hook: Aasha & Denzel]
[Verse 2: Miles]
Anxiety issues for 6 years, fam & friends were right there
Thought it was love and she cheated, my real support was right there
Funny how the world's toxic, but the remedy's been right here
Love is everywhere, no escaping, but the energy's been my fear
Been hurt before, so I ran from it, desperate for an escape
Swore that I was the only one, but I know some that can relate
Love is everywhere, something that doesn't know sex, religion or race
Could we get rid of these barriers, show love and not feel out of place?
It's something that knows no location - half the things that we feel? It's the basis
It's everywhere, couldn't figure where the base is, but it still evokes hope in the faithless
Answer to most bad situations, including hate that's baseless
It's something that knows no relation - family, friends, & strangers embrace it
L-O-V-E, it doesn't see people by face
It's everywhere, something that doesn't know sex, religion or race
L-O-V-E, it's more than just romance
Barriers could never stop it, it's something we all understand
[Pre-Hook / Hook: Aasha & Denzel]
