I opened my hands up to see what I've got
My days slip like coins into a slot
They are gone
The shadows lie longI've been banking on a broken machine
Left unattended like most of my dreams
Rusted components of an unmarked songWe've been staring down a brilliant dream
The sun burns our eyes
We've been fighting for the love of our livesAll around us things come apart
Broken pieces broken hearts
Fix me oil me match me with the next best thingPerson to person nation to nation
Heels dug in no communication
While the time speaks of weatheringWe've been wanting to be helped by binding ties
We've been fighting for the love of our livesAnd when it breaks down I beg you don't go
A sinking ship I'm ready to blow
I try to outthink you with an army of words
I strategize
I am fighting for the love of my lifeFire and water oxygen
Scotch and soda or any combination
Starts the reactionIs there no mastermind of modern day
Who can blueprint a plan to make love stay
steady and weatherproof usher in a new revolution?After trying more the hopeful ones still try
How can we help it
When we're fighting for the love of our live?(Trying more) The Hopeful ones still try
How can we help it
When we're fighting for the love of our lives?
