Song Review: “(That’s Not) The Way That You Love” by Dave Endlessly | A Rock by Nagamag.com, Jazz Discovery
Music Review:
“In “(That’s Not) The Way That You Love,” Dave Endlessly embraces buoyancy without slipping into cliché, delivering a melody that feels bright, playful, and immediately disarming. There’s an effortless optimism woven through the track, as if every melodic turn is gently insisting that love and life still carry the potential for wonder. The song’s romantic core never feels overstated; instead, it drifts with a lightness that opens emotional space rather than filling it. Beneath that charm, the fast-moving rhythm keeps everything in motion, transforming the track into a carefree rush that momentarily dissolves anxiety in favor of pure, melodic euphoria.”

Lyrics of Dave Endlessly – (That’s Not) The Way That You Love
Ven a mi, little bird that’s flown
In from the sky above
I took it home and made it my own
But that’s not the way that you love
Stars rearrange and they scuttle like bugs
Will they ever spell what I want
A little speck of flesh and heart and blood
Just the way that you love
‘Cause I got a heart for the weird
Like you got an ear for the mourning dove
I wish it was, but that’s not the way that you love
The way that you love
That’s not the way that you love
The way that you love
That’s not the way that you love
Now every night I finish your wine
‘Cause you can’t sleep with a buzz
Love can be simple, love can be kind
But that’s not the way that you love
But when I’m dizzy off a Coltrane change
You pull me out by the scruff
To wave at the train, and kiss in the rain
That’s just the way that you love
But I got a feeling to find
Somewhere outside of your frozen glove
I wish it was but that’s not the way that you love
The way that you love
That’s not the way that you love
The way that you love
That’s not the way that you
Talk shop from the edge of your soapbox
Wag your finger with a pen
Steal a dance with your hand in your pants
And say you found the writer within
Soothsayer in a grifter’s grin
Without a story to sell
That’s how it ends for a house on fire
With you just saving yourself
Which would you chose, the story or the truth
Which one is calling your bluff
I could fake it ’til I make it come true
But that’s not the way that you love
So au revoir little bird in the fog
You flew without a shove
Just to prove I was wrong about you
And that’s just the way that you love
I got a feeling they’d find
Nothing inside if they open you up
Not even blood, that’s not the way that you love
The way that you love
That’s not the way that you love
The way that you love
That’s not the way that you love
The way that you love
That’s not the way that you love
The way that you love
That’s not the way that you
