The Love We're In Lyrics

Why aren't we making the love we're in?
It could be the last time
You never want to throw that away
So, why aren't we making the love we're in?

Less heart to heart, and more brain to brain
If you're feeling tender, I'm Novocain
Lets crash the party, I'll crash the plane

Why aren't we making the love we're in?
It could be the last time
You never want to throw that away
So, why aren't we making the love we're in?

Even a beggar must have to choose.
They say you shouldn't wager more than you can lose
So, make mine a double, just hold the booze

Why aren't we making the love we're in?
It could be the last time
You never want to throw that away.
So, why aren't we making the love we're in?

In, in
Anyone can make it but we're
In, in
Some will even fake it but we're
In, in
Why don't we just make the love we're in?
Why don't we just make the love we're in?

I like this song soooo much.

It has a great meaning behind it. IMO, it's about a guy who feels that his relationship isn't going anywhere, even though he can tell that it could be great. He says 'anyone can make it/anyone can even fake it": a great set of lines about how much people fake a relationship to protect it. Despite all of that, he still doesn't understand why the relationship isn't going anywhere. It isn't a plea for sex, just a plea for her to see things the way he does.
