[Verse 1]
I open my hands up to see what I've got
My days slip like coins into a slot, they are gone
The shadows lie long
I've been banking on a broken machine
Left unattended like most of my dreams
Rusted components of an unmarked song

[Chorus]
We've been staring down the brilliant dream
The sun burns our eyes
We've been fighting for the love of our lives

[Verse 2]
All around us things come apart
Broken pieces. broken hearts
Fix me, oil me, match me with the next bеst thing
Ah, person to person, nation to nation
Heels dug in, no communication
Wily time snеaks her weathering

[Chorus]
We've been wanting to be held by binding ties
We've been fighting for the love of our lives

[Bridge]
When it breaks down, I beg you don't go
I circle your ship, I'm ready to blow
I try to outflank you with an army of words
I strategize
I am fighting for the love of my life
