What Kind of Man Lyrics

I was on a heavy tip
Try'na cross a canyon with a broken limb
You were on the other side, like always
Wondering what to do with life

I'd already had a sip
So I'd reasoned I was drunk enough to deal with it
You were on the other side, like always
You could never make you mine

And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion that lasts for twenty years
What kind of man loves like this?

To let me dangle at a cruel angle
Oh, my feet don't touch the floor
Sometimes you're half in and then you're half out
But you never close the door

What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?

You're a holy fool, all colored blue
Red feet upon the floor
You do such damage, how do you manage?
Trying to crawl in back for more

And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion that lasts for twenty years
What kind of man loves like this?

What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?

But I can't beat ya, 'cause I'm still with ya
"Oh mercy", I implore ("oh mercy", I implore)
How do you do it? I think I'm through it
Then I'm back against the wall

What kind of man loves like this? What kind of man?

What is the Meaning of What Kind of Man?

Within the haunting melodies and fervent vocals of Florence Welch, an emotional battlefield is laid bare. The lyrics tell a story of a tumultuous relationship that leaves one dangling on a cruel edge, never quite grasping stability. This man, part-time lover, part-time tormentor, ignites a fierce devotion with just a single kiss, yet wields emotional chaos with every other breath. It’s a dance of passion and pain, where love is both a sanctuary and a storm. The singer laments the push-and-pull, the half-hearted commitments, and the never-sealed doors. Ultimately, it's a heart-wrenching exploration of love's darker shades, where devotion clings on, refusing to be extinguished. #EmotionalComplexity #LoveAndChaos
