Letra de Love Of Our Lives

I open my hands up to see what I've got
My days slip like coins into a slot
They are gone, the shadows lie long

I've been banking on a broken machine
Left unattended, like most of my dreams
Rusted components of an unmarked song

We've been staring down a brilliant dream
The sun burns our eyes
We've been fighting for the love of our lives

All around us things come apart
Broken pieces. broken hearts
Fix me, oil me, match me with the next best thing

Person to person, nation to nation
Heels dug in no communication
While the time speaks of weathering

We've been wanting to be held by binding ties
We've been fighting for the love of our lives

And when it breaks down, I beg you don't go
A sinking ship, I'm ready to blow
I try to outflank you with an army of words
I strategize
I am fighting for the love of my life

Iron and water, oxygen
Scotch and soda, or any combination
Starts the reaction

Is there no mastermind of modern day
Who can blueprint a plan to make love stay
Sturdy and weatherproof, ushering in a new revolution?

At the drawing board, the hopeful ones still try
How can we help it
When we're fighting for the love of our live?

(Drawing board) The hopeful ones still try
How can we help it
When we're fighting for the love of our lives?
