“Stand Inside Your Love” is the lead single from the Smashing Pumpkins' final studio album before their initial breakup.
As Corgan explained on VH1 Storytellers in August of 2000. “Stand Inside Your Love” was written and arranged very quickly and evolved into a classic Pumpkins song within a day.

[Verse 1]
You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It’s destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Inseparable
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But for the last time
You’re everything
That I want and asked for
You’re all that I dream
[Chorus]
Who wouldn’t be the one you love?
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love?

[Chorus]

Who wouldn’t stand inside your love?
[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Who wouldn’t be the one you love and live for?

Who wouldn’t be the one you love?
