(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
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 all 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
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) it's what I want
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) '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 fire
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
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) it's what I want
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 'cause I want you, I need you
(Ah)
(Ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh)
(Ah)
Still, the faces come to haunt him (ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh)
The ghosts I have to share you with
(Ah-ah-ah) oh, still to me, they're never walking (ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh)
In this garden that we've built, oh
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 all 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
No-oh-oh
Oh-oh, it's what I want
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 'cause I want you, I need you
