Trial of Love

I got this feeling
Love is in season
Let's take a drive down
To a place where affection grows
And your heart will know

Let's go down to a place
Where we stand face to face
I hear you only sign your name
A man shakes your hand
then a kiss
boom! We're the same
Our lives begin that day
We're the same
Our lives begin that day

Let's turn the lights low
Defy what we know
I've got a feeling
We're not the first to cross this road
So I've been told

Let's risk the quietness
Take a chance on happiness
I hear it's only a 9-month wait
A man shakes your hand
Then a kid
Boom! We're not the same
Our lives begin that day

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh boom

Let's build our dream home
And buy a speed boat
Let's sell it all for a tiny airstream on the coast
See what matters most?

Let's get a little wild
Drive all night 1000 miles
Hit every lotto along the way
A man shakes our hand cause we win
Boom! Give it all away
A life begins that day

Never wanted anybody
Never wanted anybody but you

I've traveled far and wide
But never lost your eyes
I'll never say goodbye
'Cause your love just won't let me go

Never wanted anybody
Never wanted anybody but you

I've tasted space and time
But they were without rhyme
Please don't pass me by
'Cause my heart just can't let you go

I wished upon a star
But couldn't reach that far
Suppose that's where you are
So I'll stay 'til you come back home

Some people tell you what you want to hear
Some people tell you what you need to hear
Dragging round that ball and chain
Pretending it ain't weighing you down
Only someone carrying it
Would take the time to help you get unbound

Some people tell you what you want to know
Some people tell you what you need to know
Going fast the foolish way
Acting like you've been down here before
Only someone by your side
Would intervene before you hit the shore

Oh trial of love

Some people take you where you want to go
Some people take you where you need to go
Surrounded by acquaintances
Hoping they won't leave you there alone
Only someone holding you
Would have the love to carry you home

Oh the trial of love

17 miles on a freeway
Dragging my heart through a relay
When will my skin feel sea spray?
17 miles on a freeway

Can we just one time
Allow the rules to break
Leave the race behind
And together walk away

17 miles on a freeway
Chasing what seems to be fake
Handing my gift to a cheapskate
17 miles on a freeway

Can we just one time
Allow the rules to break
Leave the race behind
And together walk away
We could win the day

I would rather run this race alone
No more chances for a foe to divide my soul
Wasting every mile on a hope unknown
When I can do it on my own
My herald carved in stone
I can finally see the throne
But For 17 miles I am all alone

When I was 9 I drove aero-planes
Chasing the sky with my arms out straight
Though my world had just begun
I'd never deem a finer love

In the winter of '95
I wrote a song that would change my life
Music found a home
And I'd never dream a finer love

When it comes around
You can't help but know
Your heart is surprised
When you let go of all you've known
For finer love

I was high on the Holy Ghost
Singing hymns with some friends I know
You looked me in the eye
And I'd never seen a finer love

We were up on the second floor
Labored hard for a dream unborn
He cried for the first time
I'd never heard a finer love

When it comes around
You can't help but know
Your heart is surprised
When you let go of all you've known
For finer love

We were old but the love was warm
Oh the years coming through those storms
Our race was finally done
I'd never held a finer love
I'd never seen a finer love
I'd never dream a finer love
I'd never deem a finer love
I've never held a finer love
