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
