Lyrics
"Call It Love"
Lyrics and Music ©2015 by Capers Simmons (ASCAP)
VERSE I
Sleep now, my darling, night has fallen upon us
The engines of anguish have surrendered to rust.
The ashes are plastic, but the dust is still dust
So we dance in the darkness and we're calling it love.
We call it love.
CHORUS
All the way, all the way
Have it all; will it ever be enough?
Will you stay, will you stay?
Call it love, call it love.
VERSE II
Think hard, my partner, 'cause there will be a test.
We tried to cram it at the finish, but they popped us a quiz.
When the solutions are simpler than the answer is
We should ask better questions, call it love, or call it quits.
Let's call it love
~ CHORUS ~ BRIDGE SOLO ~
VERSE III
Something is burning but I cannot see what.
The engine's overheating and we're caught in the clutch.
The reasons were pleasing, but the outcomes were not,
So we roll through the rough patch and we're calling it love;
VERSE IV
Fess up, my darling, we are both to be blamed
'Cause the ceiling is leaking while the roof is in flames.
You get the fuzz on the phone, I'll form a bucket brigade;
We can bail out the basement, call it love, and be saved.
We'll call it love.
~ CHORUS ~
