“Your Love Is Better Than Life” Song Lyrics

From the album, Go, by Newsboys

Peter Furler, Phil Joel, Paul Colman and Steve Taylor

I dunno nothing that I haven't been taught
I dunno why I was born into the family I’ve got
I dunno if I ever had an original thought
Maybe not, maybe so, maybe later, I dunno
I dunno how I can end a prayer, then turn on a friend
I dunno what I was thinking when I just pressed SEND
I dunno why I still criticize the things I dunno
I dunno, I dunno, I dunno, but I know

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, I’M JUST A BROKEN MACHINE
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, IT’S ALL A MINDLESS ROUTINE
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, I’M IN ANOTHER FREE FALL
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, I’VE GOT NOTHING AT ALL

I dunno what goes down the moment we die
Do we get halos & harps? Do we sleep? Do we fly?
I dunno how, when and why this world will finally end
Speculation’s gonna grow, who knows best, I dunno
I dunno if I should push ahead or stop and grieve

I lie awake and wonder how to make a city believe
I dunno when it’s a ministry and when it’s a show
Maybe neither, maybe both, I dunno, but this one thing I know

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, I’M JUST A BROKEN MACHINE
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
WITHOUT YOUR TOUCH I’M NOT A FULL HUMAN BEING
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
IF I SHOULD EVER LEAVE, WHERE WOULD I GO?
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I LOOK TO YOU ‘CAUSE YOU’RE THE LOVER OF MY SOUL

Here’s to the lover of my soul
Here’s to the lover of my soul
Here’s to the lover of my soul
Here’s to the lover of my soul

I dunno when to walk away or stand and fight
Just when I’ve got it wrong, I’m sure I heard you right
And when my arguments are watertight
You expose every hole with a flash and a flood
And I know
I hear you call in the eye of the storm
And I know
You’ve had my back since the day I was born
Still stoking my heart, still stirring my head
You’re my pillar of fire
You’re the wine, you’re the bread

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, I’M JUST A BROKEN MACHINE
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, IT’S ALL A MINDLESS ROUTINE
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, I’M IN ANOTHER FREE FALL
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, I’VE GOT NOTHING AT ALL
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, I’M JUST A BROKEN MACHINE
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
WITHOUT YOUR TOUCH I’M NOT A FULL HUMAN BEING
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
IF I SHOULD EVER LEAVE, WHERE WOULD I GO?
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I LOOK TO YOU ‘CAUSE YOU’RE THE LOVER OF MY SOUL

I dunno nothing that I haven't been taught
I dunno why I was born into the family I’ve got
I dunno if I ever had an original thought
Maybe not, maybe so, maybe soon, maybe later, I dunno
I dunno when I’ve got it right or wrong
I dunno how I can wrap it in a four minute song
But I know
My grip is better when I’m not hanging on
Your love is making us strong (all along)
Your love is better than life

Newsboys Recently, Peter Furler and his bandmates found themselves in a far off place, countless miles away from all they knew and the comforts of home. They were in Israel, near the Sea of Galilee, just miles from the spot where bombs would be falling only months later. The newsboys were making their very first visit to play their very first show there, for five thousand people who had never heard of them. The crowd was a mixture of cultures, races and creeds, from Buddhists to Muslims to Jews - anything but the typical newsboys audience. One might think that a band in this position would feel intimidated to the point of faltering...
