If love were like peace and love were like war
Then, maybe, we'd know what it's all for
But you're hard to find and addicted to shade
I'm sorry if I seem to get in your way
If you were a child or flower in bloom
Then, maybe, you'd grow and I'd see you soon
But you're still the ring in the trunk of a tree
A cypress, growing, patiently
I'm begging, please, hold on
Cause that song's playing strong
And just like the first time you jumped off
The blow would never be so soft, oh
Our love is rust, painted rust
Our love, love is rust, painted rust
And we're burning in the sun
If progress don't project the reject's regrets
Then, why the mother start living in debt
When the water ran out, where'd the rain go to play
And will the acid drops burn bright again, someday
I'm begging, please, hold on
Cause that song's playing strong
And just like the first time you jumped off
The blow would never be so soft, oh
Our love is rust, painted rust
Our love, love is rust, painted rust
Our love, love is rust, painted rust
And we're burning, oh, we're burning in the sun
