Lately, lately we haven't been at our best
and maybe, maybe we had it comin' for a long time.
Everybody hopes that love is like a dancer's pirouette,
with grace we dodge each conflict and decision that we've met.
Everybody tells themselves that they must be justified,
they do what they do because they're trying to get by.
Maybe, maybe we are all selfish...
..but maybe, maybe it isn't over yet.
Everybody hopes that love is like a prairie fire
that sweeps across the land, consuming it all.
Everybody hopes that love will never fade or flicker,
that it's pure as the air we breathe.
We've made mistakes that we can't change but there's still time to start again.
There's still time to start again.
and maybe, maybe we had it comin' for a long time.
Everybody hopes that love is like a dancer's pirouette,
with grace we dodge each conflict and decision that we've met.
Everybody tells themselves that they must be justified,
they do what they do because they're trying to get by.
Maybe, maybe we are all selfish...
..but maybe, maybe it isn't over yet.
Everybody hopes that love is like a prairie fire
that sweeps across the land, consuming it all.
Everybody hopes that love will never fade or flicker,
that it's pure as the air we breathe.
We've made mistakes that we can't change but there's still time to start again.
There's still time to start again.
