Love of Our Lives Lyrics
I opened 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
We've been staring down the brilliant dream
The sun burns our eyes.
We've been fighting for the love of our lives
All around us things come apart.
Broken pieces, broken hearts,
Fix me, oil me, match me with the next best thing.
Person to person, nation to nation
Heels dug in no communication.
Wiley time sneaks her weathering
We've been wanting to be held by binding ties
We've been fighting for the love of our lives
And when it breaks down, I beg you don't go.
I circle your ship, I'm ready to blow.
I try to out think you with an army of words,
I strategize.
I am fighting for the love of my life
Fire and water, oxygen
Scotch and soda, or any combination
Starts the reaction.
Is there no mastermind of modern day
Who can blueprint a plan to make love stay
Steady and weatherproof usher in a new revolution?
At the drawing board, the hopeful ones still try.
How can we help it
When we're fighting for the love of our live?
Drawing board, the hopeful ones still try.
How can we help it
When we're fighting for the love of our lives?
My days slip like coins into a slot.
They are gone, the shadows lie long.
Left unattended, like most of my dreams.
Rusted components of an unmarked song
The sun burns our eyes.
We've been fighting for the love of our lives
Broken pieces, broken hearts,
Fix me, oil me, match me with the next best thing.
Heels dug in no communication.
Wiley time sneaks her weathering
We've been fighting for the love of our lives
I circle your ship, I'm ready to blow.
I try to out think you with an army of words,
I strategize.
I am fighting for the love of my life
Scotch and soda, or any combination
Starts the reaction.
Who can blueprint a plan to make love stay
Steady and weatherproof usher in a new revolution?
How can we help it
When we're fighting for the love of our live?
How can we help it
When we're fighting for the love of our lives?

Well with the Indigo Girls there is no hidden meaning or hidden agendas. There is only a POETIC profound longing for love. If you don't feel something when you listen to this song. You might be the world's First living heart donor! This song is truly awesome! I tear up almost every time I hear it. And I'm a guy!
Beautiful and brilliant song about the "fight" to sustain love... ...in a society that doesn't approve (gay marriage, 'wanting to be held by binding ties') ...in a relationship where one partner wants to quit. (I beg you don't go). ...against the passage of time.
