Bigger Than Love by Benjamin Gibbard Lyrics

[Chorus]
It's bigger than love
Brighter than all the stars combined
It's dwarfing the sun
Burning within my heart and mind

(Zelda)
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
Of how much I loved you
I couldn't bring myself to leave

[Chorus]

(Scott)
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
We couldn't raise her on our own
So our house got crowded
I never felt so all alone
[Chorus x2]

(Zelda)
Stranded in Asheville
Failing to fix a broken head
You're in California
Doing the work of lesser men

(Scott)
But what of our daughter
What of the love we once shared?
(Zelda)
It's living inside us
Battered but not beyond repair

(Scott)
Our fate decreed
A singularity
A solemn tune
I play at night and dance around the room

[Chorus x4]
