The Love That We Need

(album: Lovers And Leavers - 2016)

You say "I love you"
I say "me too"
We don't think much about it
It's just a thing that we do

We go out walking
We don't talk much
We lie down together
But our hearts never touch

Oh baby, it's a hard way
It's an eternity
Got the life that we wanted
Not the love that we need

We never go to bed angry
'Cause we never fight
Yeah we never go crazy
In the middle of the night

We could stay here forever
Just holding on
We both had our reasons
But our reasons are gone

Oh baby, it's a hard way
It's an eternity
Got the life that we wanted
Not the love that we need

In our hearts we knew better
But we couldn't let go
Now it's time to quit our hiding
What we've always known

If something was missing
We were too scared to look
Too busy telling our stories
Instead of writing the book

Oh baby, it's a hard way
It's an eternity
Got the life that we wanted
Not the love that we need

Oh baby, it's a hard way
It's an eternity
Got the life that we wanted
Not the love that we need
