Rich Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember talking and drinking what we could find
Burnin' all those candles and stayin' up through the night
We'd make reservations for the places we know we'd never try
But then oh, we found some rich love
I remember feeling broke as a bottle of wine
I didn't move to the city to count all my pennies
And worship the Hollywood sign
She'll say, "Hey man, nice to meet you,"
And she'll take every one last time
And I know, 'cause I found some fake love

[Chorus]
Ooh, broke as a bottle of wine
Ooh, but drink with you all damn night
Ooh, not trying to trade up
'Cause if we don't find money
Then what we got honey is just enough
We got some rich love

[Post-Chorus]
She'll say, "Hey man,"
She'll say, "Hey man, nice to meet you,"
She'll say, "Hey man, nice to meet you,"
And she'll take every one last time and I know
[Verse 2]
Do you remember dancing at parties out in the yard?
We would piss off the neighbors
They'd eventually call the cops
And I was saving up for something, hoping life would finally start
'Cause oh, we had some new love

[Chorus]
Ooh, broke as a bottle of wine
Ooh, but drink with you all damn night
Ooh, broke as a bottle of wine
Cause if we don't find money
Then what we got honey lifts it up
We got some rich love

[Post-Chorus]
She'll say, "Hey man,"
She'll say, "Hey man, nice to meet you,"
She'll say, "Hey man, nice to meet you,"
And she'll take every one last time and I know

[Bridge]
We're broke as a bottle of wine
Oh, we're broke as a bottle of wine
Said, we're broke as a bottle of wine
We're broke as a bottle of wine
Broke as a bottle of wine
We're broke as a bottle of wine
Cause if we don't find money
Then what we got honey lifts it up
We got some rich love
[Post-Bridge]
She'll say, "Hey man,"
She'll say, "Hey man, nice to meet you,"
We're broke as a bottle of wine
We're broke as a bottle of wine
Cause if we don't find money
Then what we got honey lifts it up
We got some rich love

[Outro]
We're broke as a bottle of wine
Broke as a bottle of wine
We're broke as a bottle of wine, bottle of wine
We're broke as a bottle of wine
We're broke as a bottle of wine
Cause if we don't find money
Then what we got honey lifts it up
We got some rich love

About

Genius Annotation

OneRepublic collaborated with the Swedish EDM duo Seeb on this song, released after Ryan’s comeback from an extended break during the promotion of their 2016 album Oh My My.

Musically, it features the chiming electronic melodies typical of Seeb’s productions; lyrically, it deals with the understanding that love and being able to have fun with your friends and familiars is more important (that is, it makes you “richer”) than running after money.
