Heart's Content (Strings Mix)

Brandi Carlile

Maybe you thought
I hung the moon
Maybe you thought
We were Johnny and June
Maybe we thought
It was just us two
Maybe we spoke too soonWe never lie
And we don't tell tales
We bite our tongues
And our fingernails
We fall in love
And we don't fall out
Maybe we speak too soonHere's you and me
And in between, we draw a line
But we can't see where it's been
We scratch our heads
And race against the heart's content
Oh oh oh, oh yeahMaybe we hurt who we love the most
Maybe it's all we can stand
Maybe we walk through the world as ghosts
Break my own heart before you canHere's you and me
And in between, we draw a line
But we can't see where it's been
We scratch our heads
And race against the heart's contentOh oh oh, oh yeahMaybe we know how the story ends
Maybe it's not even about us
We both retreat to opposing sands
And the love lives on without usOne thing I know for sure is
Love will find a way
Love will find a wayHere's you and me
And in between, we draw a line
But we can't see where it's been
We scratch our heads
And race against the heart's contentOh oh oh oh
You and me
Oh oh oh oh
You and me
Oh oh oh oh
You and me
Oh oh oh, oh yeah
