[E]
We live high, our love gorgeous, on the alcohol we feed it.
And it grows, all fat and friendly, we have surplus if we need it.
We [A] hold on as hard as we can, our knuckles [E] are white.
We write letters to each other, invent secrets to confess to.
I learn foreign and exotic terms of endearment by which to address you.
[A] We feed fresh, crude to one another.
We stay [E] up all night, and [B] I am healthy.
I am whole, but [A] I have poor impulse control.
And I want [E] to go home, but [B] I am home.
[A] [E]
We are strong, we are faithful, we are guardians of a rare thing.
We pay close, careful attention to the news the morning air brings.
We [A] show great loyalty to the hard times [E] we've been through.
We are filled with riches and wonders.
Our love keeps the things it finds, and we dance like drunken sailors.
Lost at sea, out of our minds, [A] you find shelter somewhere in me.
I find great comfort [E] in you, and [A] I keep [B] you safe from harm.
You [A] hold me in your arms, and I want to [E] go home, but [B] I am home.
