All we ever do is argue With not a lot, but we make do How I wish you wouldn’t say that There are things you can’t take back When you leave I always face facts Like a hand that’s trying to hold the water back Couldn’t stop the ocean leaking in the cracks We’ll build a fire and torch our old lives And hope the spark survives Use words as kindling Light up the night sky Let the memories take flight And hope the spark survives Yeah we hope the spark survives We’ve taken roads That led to confusion But right now that don’t matter at all We’ll bring it back Our love’s no illusion The higher we go, the harder we fall We’ll build a fire and torch our old lives And hope the spark survives Use words as kindling Light up the night sky Let the memories take flight And hope the spark survives Yeah we hope the spark survives Yeah we hope the spark survives
