The Daring and the Dare

Verse 1

We still fold the laundry

Same pile on the same chair

But somewhere past the hallway clock

The midnight went somewhere

You laugh a little slower now

I notice when you stop

Your hand still finds my fingers

But the running finally stopped

Pre-Chorus

Where did the fire go

The one that lit the curb

Where did the open window go

The reckless and the absurd

Chorus

Love is still here breathing

Soft and slow and true

But youth went out the side door

With the things we used to do

Love is still here breathing

We kept that part alive

But spontaneity packed its bags

And time just slipped on by

Verse 2

We planned this whole Saturday

Down to the hour and the mile

I used to wake you at midnight

Just to drive and see the sky

Your phone says we have dinner

At eight and then at ten

I look at all those calendars

And wonder where we've been

Pre-Chorus

Where did the jumping in go

The Daring and the Dare

Where did the endless summer go

We swore was always there

Chorus

Love is still here breathing

Soft and slow and true

But youth went out the side door

With the things we used to do

Love is still here breathing

We kept that part alive

But spontaneity packed its bags

And time just slipped on by

Bridge

So I'll hold on to what remains

The quiet and the calm

We traded sparkling for the steady

And the racing for the calm

The moon's still up above us

Same silver same old sky

And I'm still yours completely

Even if the fast times die

Chorus

Love is still here breathing

Soft and slow and true

But youth went out the side door

With the things we used to do

Love is still here breathing

We kept that part alive

But spontaneity packed its bags

And time just slipped on by

Outro

And time just slipped on by

Hmm

And time just slipped on by
