Lyrics

I was walking down the street feeling kinda aimless
Cupid pulled up and said tell me where to aim this
You got blood on your shirt and said this is outrageous
I’m sorry honey but love ain’t stainless

You were shopping around looking for detergent
I was the clerk you said this is kinda urgent
When our eyes met my heart it started burning
Honey I had a hunch
That you would be returning

‘Cause you know I been talking about home
And long goodbyes
And moving on

If you put love on a shelf
It might need some dusting
While it ain’t stainless
It sure as hell ain’t rusting
As long you’re there I’m happy doing nothing
But if you’re struggling to swim you know damn well I’ll jump in

‘Cause you know I been talking about home
And long goodbyes
And holding on

You and I and this long long road
And our ordinary love
Still going strong

I’m still in this store 25 years later
In this poor little heart lies a massive crater
You’re not back yet but for you I’ll pardon lateness
You bet the sweat off my back that love sure ain’t stainless

You know I been talking about home
And long goodbyes
And holding on

You and I and this long long road
And our ordinary love
Still going strong
