Benjamin Gibbard
Bigger Than Love
[Chorus: Aimee Mann]
It's bigger than love
Brighter than all the stars combined
It's dwarfing the sun
And burning within my heart and mind
[Verse 1: Aimee Mann]
I live with my memories
The bustle and fervor of New York
We're on 59th Street
We quarreled and broke the bathroom door
'Cause you were just drinking
Drinking 'til you could hardly see
Oh, how much I loved you
But I couldn't bring myself to leave
[Chorus: Benjamin Gibbard]
It's bigger than love
Brighter than all the stars combined
Dwarfing the sun
Burning within my heart and mind
[Verse 2: Benjamin Gibbard]
Our summers in Paris
The Seine overflowing with champagne
And I knew you stepped out
But you knew that I had done the same
We had a child there
But we couldn't raise her on our own
So our house got crowded
I never felt so all alone
[Chorus: Aimee Mann & Benjamin Gibbard]
It's bigger than love
Brighter than all the stars combined
Dwarfing the sun
Burning within my heart and mind
It's bigger than love
Brighter than all the stars combined
Dwarfing the sun
Burning within my heart and mind
[Verse 3: Aimee Mann, Benjamin Gibbard]
Stranded in Asheville
Failing to fix a broken head
You're in California
Doing the work of lesser men
Oh, what of our daughter?
Oh, what of the love that we once shared?
It's living inside us
Battered, but not beyond repair
[Bridge: Benjamin Gibbard]
Our fate decreed
A singularity
A solemn tune
I play at night and danced around the room
[Chorus: Aimee Mann, Benjamin Gibbard, both]
It's bigger than love
Brighter than all the stars combined
Dwarfing the sun
Burning within my heart and mind
It's bigger than love
Brighter than all the stars combined
It's dwarfing the sun
Burning within my heart and mind
It's bigger than love
Brighter than all the stars combined
It's dwarfing the sun
Burning within my heart and mind
It's bigger than love
Brighter than all the stars combined
It's dwarfing the sun
Burning within my heart and mind
