What is “Electric Love” about?
"Electric Love" describes attraction as a current, starting from the moment the lights go out the first time the narrator sees someone. The imagery stays electric throughout, from lightning in the veins to two live wires that can't let go and a power surge big enough to light the city. Words aren't needed here, because "the current speaks." At track eleven on Paraíso, it brings the album back to romance after Unstoppable.
Electric Love lyrics
(Electric...)
(Yeah, Santiago)
First time I saw you, lights went out
Everything stopped, no sound
You looked at me and I could feel
Something electric, something real
Like lightning running through my veins
Nothing about us is plain
You got me wired, you got me charged
You pulled me in from afar
I can feel it in the air
Electricity everywhere
Every time you're close to me
I lose control, I'm breaking free
This is electric love
Can you feel it in your blood?
Every touch is like a spark
Lighting up the dark
This is electric love
We're a million watts above
Nothing else can feel this good
Electric love
Middle of the night, you call my name
Every single time it hits the same
Your energy is automatic
Every moment with you is magic
We don't need words, the current speaks
Your heartbeat matching to my beat
Two live wires that can't let go
The brightest thing I'll ever know
I can feel it in the air
Electricity everywhere
Every time you're close to me
I lose control, I'm breaking free
This is electric love
Can you feel it in your blood?
Every touch is like a spark
Lighting up the dark
This is electric love
We're a million watts above
Nothing else can feel this good
Electric love
You and me, we're a power surge
Every word, every nerve
We could light up the whole city
With this love, ain't it pretty?
This is electric love
Can you feel it in your blood?
Every touch is like a spark
Lighting up the dark
Electric love
Nothing else can feel this good
Electric love
(Electric...)
(Feel that energy)
