Paralyzed in the pouring rain
Right outside my own front gate
I'm leaving today, it's what I always say
But I never seem to go
Once again, I just push on through
Up the stairs to my two bedrooms
We live in the city where we all assume
That it passes for a home
But her dad still reminds me we don't own
Once a month with our t-shirts on
That's how far our love is gone
Our friends all tell us we should both move on
But we're tangled up too tight
We're paralyzed in our separate ways
We both got kids of our own these days
And they're making it harder to walk away
But we're both long gone inside
Now how'd we get so old at 35?
Oh give me some kind of love that I can hold
'Cause promises they don't seem to keep
Oh give me some kind of love that makes me know
That it's strong enough to hold me
Watching our weight and watching TV
Checking our phones that never do ring
'Cause everybody's waiting for the next big thing
But nothing's big enough
If you work hard they tell you god will see
But I don't see a goddamn thing
He wound the wheels and then he walked away
When he taught us how to love
And he wants something better out of us
Oh, give me some kind of love that I can hold
'Cause promises they don't seem to keep
Oh, give me some kind of love that makes me know
That it's strong enough to hold me
So we drink wine and try to go back
To way back when we loved like that
But when it's gone it won't come back
No matter what you try
But we both give it one last shot
The spark is there, but the fire's not
We'd be just fine if we could just get hot
'Cause we've been frozen quite a while
And I'm begging her on our freezing bathroom tiles
Oh, give me some kind of love that I can hold
'Cause promises, they don't seem to keep
Oh, give me some kind of love that makes me know
That it's strong enough to hold me
Is it strong enough
