Joe Henry - The Love that We Need lyrics

[Verse 1] You say 'I love you' I say 'me too' We don't think much about it It's just a thing that we do We go out walking We don't talk much We lie down together But our hearts never touch [Chorus] Oh baby it's a hard way It's an eternity Got the life that we wanted Not the love that we need [Verse 2] We never go to bed angry Cause we never fight Yeah we never go crazy In the middle of the night We could stay here forever Just holding on We both had our reasons But our reasons are gone [Chorus] Oh baby it's a hard way It's an eternity Got the life that we wanted Not the love that we need [Verse 2] In our hearts we knew better But we couldn't let go Now it's time to quit our hiding What we've always known If something was missing We were too scared to look Too busy telling our stories Instead of writing the book [Chorus] Oh baby it's a hard way It's an eternity Got the life that we wanted Not the love that we need Oh baby it's a hard way It's an eternity Got the life that we wanted Not the love that we need
