Our Love Songtext

von Rhett Miller

Richard Wagner's letters to his lover Mathilde were a mess
He should have quit before he had written the address
They made love on the mezzanine
Her husband was his friend

Vienna in a fugue-state working on a thing
That when he finished it took almost seven hours to sing
He still found time to write to her
His heart-exploding words

Our love surpassed
Our love's so fast
Our love's all wrong
Our love goes on and on
Our love became
Our love by name
When I wrote it to you in a song
Our love goes on and on
Our love, our love

Kafka in his letters to his lover Milena was alive
But he was waiting for a love that never would arrive
Their rendezvous was singular
Her husband was his friend

She is a living fire, she is a reason to live
She is killing me, burning only for him
I'll spend my whole life loving her
My heart exploding words

Our love surpassed
Our love's so fast
Our love's all wrong
Our love goes on and on
Our love became
Our love by name
When I wrote it to you in a song
Our love goes on and on
Our love, our love
Our love, our love

Our love surpassed
Our love's so fast
Our love's all wrong
Our love goes on and on
Our love became
Our love by name
When I wrote it to you in a song
Our love goes on and on
Our love, our love
Our love, our love
