Ryan Adams - This Love Lyrics






Clear blue water, high tide came and brought you in
And I could go on and on, on and on, and I will
Skies grew darker, currents swept you out again
And you are just gone and gone, gone and gone
In silent screams and wildest dreams
I never dreamed of this

[Chorus:]
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is back from the dead
And these hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me

Tossing, turning, struggled through the night with someone new
And I can go on and on, on and on, and I will
Lantern burning, flickering in my mind for only you
But you were still gone, gone
Been losing grip, these sinking ships
It's like you showed up just in time

[Chorus:]
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is back from the dead
And these hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark
These hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me

My kiss, your cheek, I watched you leave
Your smile, my ghost, I fell to my knees
When you're young, you run
When you're young, you run
But you come back to what you need

[Chorus:]
This love is good, this love is bad
This love is back from the dead
And these hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark
These hands had to let it go free
This love came back to me
This love came back to me

Ryan Adams This Love Comments
  1. A.... B....

    This song was absolutely perfect at the end of episode 11 "Nothing Gold can Stay" on Containment!! Really sets the emotions for the very upsetting scene with Katie and Jake😭. Based on the comments the show is what brought most of us here. Im a few years behind apparently but i watched it on Netflix for the first time a year ago & just finished it again, loved it!!
    #Containment #Jake&Katie+Quentin

    Tears...torment, joy, pain and pleasure...exactly, it was the light at the end of the dark night of the soul, that put me there in the first place. Twin, my good and evil, my perfect twin. We are hybrid blends of dark and light.

    Clear blue water
    High tide, came and brought you in
    And I could go on and on, on and on
    And I will, skies grow darker, currents swept you out again
    And you were just gone and gone, gone and gone
    In silent screams, and wildest dreams
    I never dreamed of this
    This love is good
    This love is bad
    This love is a life back from the dead, oh
    These hands had to let it go free
    And this love came back to me, oh
    Oh, oh
    Tossing, turning, struggle through the night for someone new
    And I could go on and on, on and on
    Lanterns burning, flickered in the mind only you
    But you were still gone, gone, gone
    Been losing grip, on sinking ships
    You showed up, just in time
    This love is good
    This love is bad
    This love is a life back from the dead, oh
    These hands had to let it go free
    And this love came back to me, oh
    This love left a permanent mark
    This love is glowing in the dark, oh
    These hands had to let it go free
    And this love came back to me, oh
    This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh)
    This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh)
    This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh)
    This love, this love, this love, this love
    Your kiss, my cheek
    I watched you leave
    Your smile, my ghost
    I fell to my knees
    When you're young, just to run
    But you come back to what you need
    This love is good
    This love is bad
    This love is a life back from the dead, oh
    These hands had to let it go free
    And, this love came back to me, oh
    This love that's a permanent mark
    (This love) This love is glowing in the dark, oh
    (This love) These hands had to let it go free
    (This love) And this love came back to me, oh
    This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh)
    This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh)
    This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh)

  31. B.... 2....

    😭😭😭😭😭

  32. G.... T....

    La mort de Katie dans Alerte Contagion m'a fait pleurer tellement fort T-T (et je suis un gars de 17)
    Katie's death in containment made me cry so much T-T (and i'm a 17 years old guy)

  33. P.... P....

    one word: *_CONTAINMENT._*

  34. Y.... ....

    Ryan Adams could cover an entire Justin Bieber's album and make it sound beautiful and genius-like. He is that amazing.

  35. J.... E....

    #containment

  36. R.... S....

    Taylor Swift is one of the best songwriter ever! I love her! She is a poetess!! Her songs touch the deep of my soul. It's like her songs talked about my life. Because of Taylor Swift, now I know that music is the fastest means of communication in the world.

  37. A.... A....

    this video of this version of the song should have thousands more views. Or millions

  38. j.... ....

    I listened this Song In #Containment have u?

  39. S.... M....

    Sublime. Sumamente hermoso.

  40. S.... M....

    He totally made this song so much better! Love how he switched the tone of the song and made it his own: )

  41. M.... B....

    I have literally never cried over a tv show more than I did for Containment like I was full on sobbing

    M.... B....

    Megan Burkhalter same here😭

    M.... B....

    SAME!😭😢😩 I was bawling I never cried for a show but every single time I rewatch it I cry

    M.... B....

    Same mehnnn...

    M.... B....

    Wept like a baby starting with her goodbyes to Quentin and right into the final episode

    M.... B....

    Megan Burkhalter you and me both.

  42. k.... ....

    Idk if it's because I heard this version before Swift's but I gotta say this one is my preference.

  43. d.... m....

    bei tempi

  44. M.... M....

    Saddest scene in Containment😭😔

  45. h.... ....

    WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG - YOU RUN!

  46. S.... O....

    Taylor's versions of her 1989 songs win the head-to-head contest with Ryan Adams in every case (some are pretty close) except this one. He gives this song the emotional context it deserves and adds vocal and instrumental depth missing from Taylor's version. Her version is too pop and nonchalant for lyrics that convey such a powerful story. Adams' rendition showcases what a superb piece of songwriting this is. Perfectly executed.

  47. C.... H....

    More than a year after Containment ended and I still cry every time I hear this song XD

  48. L.... C....

    Esta canción es un precioso poema <3

  49. v.... e....

    L love Ryan so much. Sooo much émotions. He gave another life and meaning To this song 😘😘😘

  50. b.... ....

    She's a fantastic songwriter.
    Extremely talented and she can sing

    It's a fucking shame that production have to ruin songs for us and that we're forced to come to other people (Ryan Adams) to listen to a song's full potential.

  51. a.... g....

  52. x.... x....

  71. G.... D....

    Came here from containment, been listening to this ever since

  72. A.... :....

    #Containment who wants a second season too?? 😥

  73. S.... F....

    Here's a little song which isn't in CONTAINMENT...but probably should be......





    WHY? by JASMINE LAMPORT

    S.... F....

    It was only a week ago but like a good lover, i missed this song....so i'm back for more.

  74. S.... F....

    If there is a secret to why this version is pretty damned good....it has to be tempo(obviously Ryan's emotional vocal helps)....Ryan has slowed it down slightly to where his perfect comfort zone lies....great melody, decent lyrics and Ryan Adams...what's not to like?? Must be a little revolutionary to have covered a complete album in one go..but i, for one would expect nothing less from Ryan Adams...he doesn't mess around...he just gets on with what he feels needs to be said and done...credit to Taylor Swift for her original.

    S.... F....

    Surely there has to be some irony about a song being used on a programme which is called CONTAINMENT and includes this version by, possibly the most un-contained or the "not likely to ever be contained" Mr Ryan "sock it to the Industry" Adams.
    Dear Ryan, like you i like to "experiment" and not be contained within "walls" of creation.....bet you'd get a song by a young lady, which barely has 17 lyrics(allowing for repitition( but is blindingly emotional if the listener has tasted any kind of great loss).....WHY? by JASMINE LAMPORT.
    Salute the experimenters.

    S.... F....

    SONIC he can sing up tempo songs, see New York, New York and Answering Bell. Its just how he hears a certain song, he goes with it.

  75. s.... ....

    this one is the best one! well done.

  76. A.... P....

    ❤❤❤❤❤

  77. L.... S....

    I kiss, your cheek. I watched, you leave. Your smile, my ghost. I fell, to my knees. When you're youuuung, you run. When you're youuuung, you run. When you're yooooung, you run. But you come back, to what you neeeeeeeed.

  78. H.... ....

    POWERFUL!

  79. G.... H....

    Containment, a show on Netflix brought me here. Just had to see who sung it. A beautiful song.

  80. p.... ....

    this song/cover was written specially for The Light Between Two Oceans 😍😍😍

  81. G.... A....

    There are no monsters in my head. No monsters under my bed. Tomorrow brings. A new day of light. Sweet dreams my prince, goodnight... I cried typing that. You will never be forgotten Katie

  82. A.... C....

    jatie forever


    I love you Jake Riley
    😢😢😢😭😭😭💔💔

  83. A.... C....

    they should've made her live and killed someone else

  84. L.... G....

    Jake and Katie. My heart is still broken.

  85. M.... G....

    I love you Katie #containment

  86. M.... S....

    Still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear this song. I don't know why I keep coming back to listen to this song. I just can't seem to help myself.

  87. K.... P....

    this love is back from the dead

    ~ we always come back to each other... love you CJS

  88. P.... r....

    Jatie... miss

  89. L.... ....

    I totally prefer this song be sung by Ryan Adams. Just me?

    L.... ....

    LibertyPolitics1776 I think this song was best sung by Adams due to the fact that he used instruments, the opposite of Tay Swift who sings This Love accompanied by artificial arrangements, but if she sang along with "real" instruments with, sure, her version would look infinitely better than Ryan Adams's.

  90. c.... f....

    awwww, I really did think she was gonna die alone, then he showed up ❤❤❤

  91. D.... F....

    Haven't cried that hard since titanic

  92. M.... C....

    beutiful

  93. J.... ....

    Jatie forever 😔💔❣️ I cried so hard omfg!! 😭😭😩💔

  94. T.... B....

    "I'm here, now you can say it!" "I love you!"This scene yanked my heart strings. Love is Powerful!!!

    T.... B....

    Tammi Bartice I'm crying 😭 as soon as I read this I got goosebumps 😩😩😭

    T.... B....

    Tammi Bartice I started to watch this show yesterday and I finished it at midnight. I couldn't help but cry bc of Jake and Katie 😭💔

  95. R.... D....

    containment 😭😭😭

  96. N.... P....

    I cried watching containment, then I went to sleep, listening to my playlist, all the saddest songs came on

  97. T.... ....

    Sad times that make you cry. And make you think about people that you love. But sometimes you're a heartless person 😖
