A Lifelong Pursuit Songtext
von Mousey

Love is not a card, it′s not a card that you can play
To make all of your bad decisions go away
And love is not a plaster or a band-aid that you put
On a nasty wound to hide its nasty looks

Oh love is hard, oh love is hard
That's how you know it′s love
A lifelong pursuit that's supposed to build you up
But when it hurts, it really hurts
Each fall is fifty lashes
I hope to stick it out to see the beauty in the ashes

My favourite super hero is the priest from Les Mis
'Cause when he gets screwed over he just offers more to give
And even though his character I′ve only seen on screen
I hope that there′s a possibility he could be me


Oh love is hard, oh love is hard
That's how you know it′s love
A lifelong pursuit that's supposed to build you up
But when it hurts, it really hurts
Each fall is fifty lashes
I hope to stick it out to see the beauty in the ashes

I stared at you, I stared at you, I stared you in the face
Until I couldn′t talk and my hands were shaking
Then freedom, freedom, freedom stole me away
And a single tear made an oasis
How can you love without forgiveness?

Ohh ohh
Ohh ohh
Ohh ohh
Ohh ohh

So drive your car and buy your flights
And write the cards you need to write
Talk your talks and hug your hugs
Make sure you love the ones you love
Rip the band-aid, punch the wall
Pull the curtain, hear the call
Talk your talks and hug your hugs
Make sure you love the ones you love
Make sure you love the ones you love
