Essie & Paul Songtext
von Bastille

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh

Our love is like a river, overflowing over time
Running wild, filled with life
Our love is complicated, living lies and compromise
Side by side, speaking our minds

We both made this bed, we can′t fit the whole world into it
Tie our threads into a life that fits

If it's gonna make you happy, if it′s gonna set us free
If it's gonna hold us steady, then it's all we need
If it′s gonna make you happy, if it′s gonna let us be
If it's gonna hold us steady, then it′s what I need

(Ooh, ooh) it's what I want
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) ′cause I want you, I need you

Your voice brought us forever, but with work and fame and family
We use our minds to light some fires
Our choices bound together, saw the world, made history
We're living free, and honestly


So we share this bed rather than lying more in it
Pull the threads, but just don′t set fire to this

If it's gonna make you happy, if it's gonna set us free
If it′s gonna hold us steady, then it′s what we need
If it's gonna make you happy, if it′s gonna let us be
If it's gonna hold us steady, then it′s what I need

(Ooh, ooh) it's what I want
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) ′cause I want you, I need you

Ah, ah-oh
Ah-oh, ah-oh, oh

Still, the faces come to haunt him
The ghosts I have to share you with
Oh, but still to me, they're never walking
In this garden that we've built, oh

If it′s gonna make you happy, if it′s gonna set us free
If it's gonna hold us steady, then it′s all we need
If it's gonna make you happy, if it′s gonna let us be
If it's gonna hold us steady, then it′s what I need

(Oh, oh) it's what I want
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) 'cause I want you, I need you
