Lyrics

Between the hydrant and the house fire

Above the gardens and cement

We cede the fight, we call a draw

And lean ourselves against the fence



Loving is easy, loving is easy

In a car to the coast

But tremors come quickly

To level the streets

And us, with the end of the world at our feet.



We lie in a twin bed, like two small sardines

And I whisper all of my feverish thoughts

Then you double over and kiss me with ease

And we float on like cosmonauts



Loving is easy, loving is easy

On your way to the earth

Comets come softly

To fracture the vale

And us, with the end of the world at our tail.



Six months together, and three months apart

Our cell phones, like two cups, a string and two hearts

Our voices are shaking, and we muddle the words

I listen outside for the birds.



Loving is easy, loving is easy

On the porches in June

But winter comes quickly

To cover the green

And us, with the end of the world at our feet



In the fortresses of solitude

I call to you from depths unmined

You hold me and we get in line

To drink another day like wine

You hold me and we get in line

To drink another day like wine.
