[length: 05:21]
[00:08.82]Love writes a letter and sends it to Hate
[00:17.04]”My vacation’s ending, I’m coming home late”
[00:25.44]”The weather was fine and the ocean was great”
[00:30.94]”And I can’t wait to see you again”
[00:38.01]Hate reads the letter and throws it away
[00:45.76]”No one here cares if you go or you stay”
[00:53.68]”I barely even noticed that you were away”
[00:59.06]”I’ll see you or I won’t, whatever”
[01:06.10]Love sings a song as she sails through the sky
[01:14.38]The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes
[01:22.55]And everyone knows it whenever she flies
[01:28.38]And also when she comes down
[01:35.24]Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street
[01:42.92]Every stranger and drifter, he greets
[01:51.12]And shakes hands with every loner he meets
[01:56.68]With a serious look on his face
[02:03.57]Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow
[02:12.14]Carrying with her the good things we know
[02:20.47]A reason to live and a reason to grow
[02:26.16]To trust, to hold, to care
[02:33.74]Hate sits alone on the hood of his car
[02:41.10]Without much regard to the moon or the stars
[02:49.96]Lazily killing the last of a jar
[02:54.71]Of the strongest stuff you can drink
[03:02.07]Love takes a taxi, a young man drives
[03:10.23]As soon he sees her, hope fills his eyes
[03:18.98]But tears follow after at the end of the ride
[03:24.41]’Cause he might never see her again
[03:31.84]Hate gets home lucky to still be alive
[03:39.32]He screams o’er the sidewalk and into the drive
[03:48.11]The clock in the kitchen says two fifty five
[03:53.36]And the clock in the kitchen is slow
[04:00.76]Love has been waiting, patient and kind
[04:09.65]Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign
[04:17.82]That the one that she cares for who’s out of his mind
[04:23.27]Will make it back safe to her arms
[04:30.83]Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door
[04:38.59]Weary head hung down, eyes to the floor
[04:46.64]He says, “Love, I’m sorry” and she says, “What for?”
[04:52.42]”I’m yours and that’s it, whatever”
[04:59.57]”I should not have been gone for so long”
[05:04.99]”I’m yours and that’s it, forever”
[05:10.11]”Your mine and that’s it, forever”
