True Love is a Trip

Stranded here
In the now
You want me to let go
But not look down?

There ain't no road
Left to run
There ain't no way
To catch the setting sun

But I'll be damned
If we didn't try
Our ship set sail
In the sky
The stars are framed
By fire and hair
And our hands are in the air
As our footsteps slowly slip;
True love is a trip

Meet
Me on the swings
Under a sky of golden coins
And diamond rings

Hold
Me in your heart
We can stop anytime we like
We just don't know where to start

But I'll be damned
If we didn't try
Our ship set sail
In the sky
The stars are framed
By fire and hair
And our hands are in the air
As our footsteps slowly slip;
True love is a trip

Cuz love is hell
And trust is hard
I let everything down
Except my guard
Let's throw our baggage overboard
And take a stand
Hold the horror lightly in your hand
And sweep me away
With the sway of your hips;
True love is a trip
