Essie & Paul

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

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 all 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

(Ooh, ooh) it's what I want

(Ooh, ooh-ooh) '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

(Ooh, ooh) it's what I want

(Ooh, ooh-ooh) 'cause I want you, I need you

Ah, ah-oh

Ah-oh, ah-oh, oh

Still, the faces come to haunt him

The ghosts I have to share you with

Oh, but 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 all 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) it's what I want

(Ooh, ooh-ooh) 'cause I want you, I need you
