We're Fighting Fate Here, You And I Songtext
All of the bridges we've built burned down,
but I'm giving my all just to keep you around.
I've gotten quite used to sleeping alone
and living my life from paycheck to pay phone.

These days hearing your voice is a lottery,
if you don't play, you've got no chance of winning,
but losing means the things you spent are given to the victor,
lining pockets of the wealthy with the pennies of the bitter.
Hold me close and we'll freeze slower.
Pull the plug and sink with me.
Don't let go, we'll jump together.
Take my hand and sink with me.

If I was an ocean and you were the shore,
would you let me crash into all that's yours?
And as the shapes of our bodies change,
would our love stay the same?

Every day away gets a little bit tougher,
but every second makes our nights together rougher.
Full of passion, but spread too thin.
Love is not a currency, but deep beneath our skin.

These days, hours just aren't quite enough.
The most painful of sounds is a door when it shuts.
We don't have a choice, doll, I still have to leave,
but please, please don't forget me.
Hold me close, we'll shake this breeze.
Take my hand and sink with me.

If I was an ocean and you were the shore,
would you let me crash into all that's yours?
And as the shapes of our bodies change,
would our love stay the same?

‘Cause there's a place in my head, and I'm gonna chase it,
and I won't let a memory corrupt or erase it.
I have a future that I'm gotta find,
so come along, darling. We don't have much time.

If I was an ocean and you were the shore,
would you let me crash into all that's yours?
And as the shapes of our bodies change,
would our love stay the same?

If you could have anything,
would you still be my darling? My diamond ring?
I know this is crazy, but we're fighting fate,
so set your clocks early and don't be late.
