0:16Our love is like a river
0:19Overflowing over time running wild
0:24Filled with life
0:27Our love is complicated living lies and compromise
0:32Side by side
0:35Speaking our minds
0:37We both made this bed
0:41We can't fit the whole world into it
0:44Tie our threads into a life that fits
0:50If it's gonna make you happy
0:53If it's gonna set us free
0:55If it's gonna hold us steady
0:58Then it's what we need
1:01If it's gonna make you happy
1:03If it's gonna let us be
1:06If it's gonna hold us steady
1:09Then it's what I need
1:16It's what I want
1:17'Cause I want you I need you
1:21Your voice brought us forever
1:24But with work and fame and family we use our minds
1:29To light some fires
1:32Our choices bound together
1:35Saw the world made history
1:37We're living free and honestly
1:43So we share this bed
1:47Rather than lying more in it
1:50Pull the threads
1:53But just don't set fire to this
1:55If it's gonna make you happy
1:58If it's gonna set us free
2:01If it's gonna hold us steady
2:04Then it's what we need
2:06If it's gonna make you happy
2:09If it's gonna let us be
2:12If it's gonna hold us steady
2:14Then it's what I need
2:21It's what I want
2:23'Cause I want you I need you
2:39Still their faces come to haunt me
2:44The ghosts I have to share you with
2:49Oh still to me they're never walking
2:55In this garden that we've built
2:59Oh if it's gonna make you happy
3:04If it's gonna set us free
3:06If it's gonna hold us steady
3:09Then it's what we need
3:12If it's gonna make you happy
3:14If it's gonna let us be
3:17If it's gonna hold us steady
3:20Then it's what I need
3:23Oh-oh oh-oh
3:27It's what I want
3:28'Cause I want you
3:30I need you
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
