One of us comes
The other one goes
I wear the pants
He just knows
And we found love
Where it can dance
Did you take a breath
Or a second chance
On the money
Or off the floor
What is it about love
That we adore
Coz you're summer
I'm winter
We're a cyclical thing
And I know it's real
When I hear the bell ring
And we lift off
The ground is below
The air is free
But do you go
When I open my heart
And pour out my wounds
I didn't think the end
Would come so soon
And you're looking past me
Into the sky
What's it about love
That will neither live nor die
I'm studying what makes the earth spin
And no, I guess, it's not all down to him
As we share and co-operate
We give to others and lift our state
And the land that we till is not under machine
Can someone else enter into your dream
When you're asleep
As I promise to keep
My bargain with duty and all the gold
I'm living my heart and I won't be told
What to do by someone with guns
But neither am I in service to nuns
I follow the beat and I self regulate
But I make mistakes, like what's up with that date
I had one time with destiny
It was a mistake and I'm coming to see
That trouble is winter and there is a sun
That shines through the clouds in what can't be done
And account for the loss of trying to fail
I give of my heart and it's not for sale
But I must find a way to cut through the tide
Make mountains move because I'm alive
And be the example in what is a rule
Live up to the promise that I had in school
