Description
The love here is not the fairy-tale kind, where everything is easy and beautiful. It's the kind where you argue until you're red in the face, but then you still put the kettle on and find a place next to each other on the sofa. The song smells of tired hands, shared breakfasts and the habit of not giving up. It's not about ‘forever’ in the spirit of postcards, but about how small scars and quarrels form a strong bond. Just two people who could have left long ago, but for some reason stay. Because sometimes love is stubbornness, only in its best form.
Lyrics and translation
Original
These arms are made for hanging on
And staying strong through thick and thin
We would've never used a word like that
If that word ain't exactly what we meant
You and I got too much pride
To say goodbye and throw in the towel
Baby, we've spent too much time falling in
To let this end in fallin' out
No, we ain't like that sunset
We ain't done yet, are we now?
We've given time, we've given space
We've given what they say it takes
Aw, but sometimes all you have is just enough
We've given blood and sweat and tears
We've given all of seven years
Just 'cause we stick around don't mean we're stuck
Oh, and baby, ain't that love?
Giving everything but up
Sometimes being lovers
Means sometimes being stubborn as it gets
And they can call it what they wanna
But we ain't ever gonna call it quits
'Cause that ain't this
We've given time, we've given space
We've given what they say it takes
Aw, but sometimes all you have is just enough
We've given blood and sweat and tears
We've given all of seven years
Just 'cause we stick around don't mean we're stuck
Oh, and baby, ain't that love?
Giving everything but up
No, we ain't like that sunset
We ain't done yet, are we now?
It'll always be you and me, babe
Until they lay us in that ground
We've given time, we've given space
We've given what they say it takes
Aw, but sometimes all you have is just enough
We've given blood and sweat and tears
We've given all of seven years
Just 'cause we stick around don't mean we're stuck
Oh, and baby, ain't that love?
Giving everything but up
Everything but up
Giving everything but up
Everything but up
