Are We In Love

Many many moons ago
When I was a lump of mouldable clay
Some shit went down and I found
That it nailed me to the ground
So I went inside, to duck and hide
Long after the monsters went to sleep
What was under my bed was in my
Head busy counting sheep
Many a sunrise later
I was safe but empty and cold
Now you got me feeling feelings
That I can’t unfold

Are we in love?
What if it’s real this time?
Are we just feeling something
To know we’re alive?

Are we in love?
Should we ignore the signs?
Should we just turn away
And say goodbye?

‘Ditto for me’ you say
Same shit but different people and pile
We’ve all been through that ringer
But can still force a crooked smile
Abused and used and bruised
And occasionally reused
We’re all just rescue dogs
Looking for somebody true
So what in the hell do we do now?
When everybody else is kissing?
We’re just standing here like shells
Of our future selves

​

Are we in love?
What if it’s us this time?
Are we just feeling something
To be alive?
Are we in love?
Should we forget the signs?
Should we just bolt away
And say goodbye?

 
So here we are at the end of this song
We might shag, we might say so long
It bogles the mind why we can’t just
Find to how to get along
I might hurt you, and you might hurt me
By now we should wake up to finally see
We’re hard, we’re strong, we’ll bend, not break
Put fear to bed until Love’s awake
Now we’re standing face to face
There’s no monsters here in this space
It’s so hard to run and hide
With arms open wide.

​

Are we in love?
What if we take our time?
Are we just feeling something
That keeps us alive?
Are we in love?
Should we accept the signs?
Should we just live today
And say hereby
We’ll try?
