common sense

"common sense"

we are
special now, like it always was
we can't
be ruined except by one of us
no one
can tell us its over,
if we say "no."

cause we believe in you & I
it's common sense
you can't deny it
or roll along with blinders on
pretending it went wrong
when all it was, was circumstance
you don't give up - it's common sense
you fall off once, you pick back up
dust off, and soldier on

you look - please,
look in my eyes like you always do
we could
sometimes sit and stare for an hour or two
you've seen,
everything
you could see to the depths of my soul

and all the things we said weren't lies
just common sense - look in my eyes
please hear my voice, we have the choice
don't just lay down and die
when all it was was circumstance - you can't give up
it's common sense! When you slip down once,
you pick back up - dust off
resume the climb

we have
fallen deep in a trap
that we both have built
go back
- no, there's no going back,
there's no way, no will
hold fast
- keep right with me
together, we'll break straight out

'cause we believe in you & I
- it's common sense, you can't deny it
the world is not against our love
but if it was, so what?
there's nothing that can make our choice
except for us
we can't be forced, if by force of will
for good or ill
we stand by what we've got
and what we've got is all we want
you know it's love!
You knew it once

and we are still just us
it can be again

it's only common sense


we are special now, like it always was
we can't be ruined except by one of us
no one can tell us its over, if we say "no"

so what

do you say
now, baby?
where do we go?
