| Our love is like a river |
| Overflowing over time, running wild |
| Filled with life |
| Our love is complicated, living lies and compromise |
| Side-by-side |
| Speaking our minds |
|
| We both made this bed |
| We can't fit the whole world into it |
| Tie our threads into a life that fits |
|
| If it's gonna make you happy |
| If it's gonna set us free |
| If it's gonna hold us steady |
| Then it's what we need |
| If it's gonna make you happy |
| If it's gonna let us be |
| If it's gonna hold us steady |
| Then it's what I need |
| It's what I want |
| 'Cause I want you, I need you |
|
| Your voice brought us forever |
| But with work and fame and family, we use our minds |
| To light some fires |
| Our choices bound together |
| Saw the world, made history |
| We're living free and honestly |
|
| So, we share this bed |
| Rather than lying more in it |
| Pull the threads |
| But just don't set fire to this |
|
| If it's gonna make you happy |
| If it's gonna set us free |
| If it's gonna hold us steady |
| Then it's what we need |
| If it's gonna make you happy |
| If it's gonna let us be |
| If it's gonna hold us steady |
| Then it's what I need |
| It's what I want |
| 'Cause I want you, I need you |
|
| Still their faces come to haunt me |
| The ghosts I have to share you with |
| Oh, still to me they're never walking |
| In this garden that we've built |
|
| Oh, if it's gonna make you happy |
| If it's gonna set us free |
| If it's gonna hold us steady |
| Then it's what we need |
| If it's gonna make you happy |
| If it's gonna let us be |
| If it's gonna hold us steady |
| Then it's what I need |
| Oh-oh, oh-oh |
| It's what I want |
| 'Cause I want you |
| I need you |
|
