Song Notes
Then it became, like, ‘Guys, no ballads. Let’s just write rock and roll!’ But all of a sudden ‘Oh Love’ came out. It’s not really a ballad, but it’s not a power-pop song either. It’s powerful, but it’s slower and it’s got a groove to it. It’s kind of something we haven’t really done before, and at the same time it’s pretty epic.

Lyrics
Oh love, oh love
Won't you rain on me tonight?
Oh life, oh life
Please don't pass me by
Don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop when the red lights flash
Oh ride, free ride
Won't you take me close to you?
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
I'm wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my heart's on the loose (Yeah)
Oh lights and action
I just can't be satisfied
Oh losers and choosers
Won't you please hold on to my life?
Oh hours, and hours
Like the dog years of the day
Old story, same old story
Won't you see the light of day?
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
I'm wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my heart's on the loose
Talk myself out of feeling
Talk my way out of control
Talk myself out of falling in love
Falling in love with you, say!
Oh love, oh love
Won't you rain on me tonight?
Oh ride, free ride
Won't you take me close to you?
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
I'm wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my heart's on the loose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
I'm wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my heart's on the loose
Tonight, my heart's on the loose
Tonight, my heart's on the loose
