I wrote this in a matter of minutes.. hopefully I'll have a simplistic guitar part that doesn't overpower the meaning soon. I will post a video with my flip video recorder soon! :) Get excited, loves.
Vous êtes amour ; appelez-ainsi le amour. Elle est amour ; elle est toute que j'ai besoin.
(translation)-- You are love; so call it love. She is love; she is all I need.
V1: You were a bird & I was absurd
For falling for the notion that two trees should fall in love.
You were a bird & I, a sycamore
& in the breeze you built your nest on me & called it love.
You called it love.
appelez-ainsi le amour
V2: The sky lights Jesus along his way
To call Zacheus down from the sycamore that perched our love
For all the pearly gates.. to sit & stare upon..
For all the pearly gates .. to sit & stare upon..
& call it love
appelez-ainsi le amour
{Chorus}-
& we are different, but difference complements
& we are different now in spite of all the silly times we think alike
& our hearts may beat as one, but we are one bird & single tree to fall in love.
appelez-ainsi le amour
V3: You were a bird & I was absurd
To think that simple aerodynamics could stand in the way of beauty’s flight.
You were a bird & I a silly grounded tree with nothing to inspire me.. until your love
It swooped its crown on me.. & in time it could transform a simple liar.. into a flyer .. with passion fire
so call it love
appelez-ainsi le amour
So call it love.. dum dum dum dum
So call it love.. dum de dum dum dum
So call it love
appelez-ainsi le amour
{Chorus}-
& we are different, but difference complements
& we are different now in spite of all the silly times we think alike
& our hearts may beat as one, but we are one bird & single tree to fall in love.
appelez-ainsi le amour
{Outro}-
So call it love..
appelez-ainsi le amour
So call it love..
appelez-ainsi le amour
So call it love..
appelez-ainsi le amour
So call it love.. cause you are love!
vous êtes amour

The whole thing is metaphorical..If you look at the first verse that's easy to pick up on. It is against the notion that just because two people are alike that love will occur. It is for the notion of differences being possibly symbiotic and complementary. I.E. the idea of a tree and a bird.. A bird needs a tree.. without the tree.. no nest... See More could occur.. the whole process of life would be left with a missing gap.
I just made the tree a Sycamore so I could throw in some biblical allusion. This allowed me to paint a picture of the heaven's looking down upon the love that is sung about from verse one.. in verse 2.
The rest of the song kind of just expands this whole concept. In case your wondering "ainsi l'appel est amour" is French for "So call it love".. I thought it was appropriate to put it as a tag at the end of certain lines.
