lyrics

She kissed you in the rain
Held your hand through the yard
It's hard to see it plain
Why can't we be who we are?

You can't remember the last time
You wrote her name in the sand
Despite your best intentions here
We rarely turn out as we planned

In love it's all the same
Moths to the flame
In love it's all the same
Moths to the flame

Boat beneath the bridge
Rushing waters run
Blue sky above the ridge
Clouds collect the sun

But the god that must have made our world here
Left it long ago
A science project on the basement floor
A melting sculpture in the snow

In love it's all the same
Moths to the flame
In love it's all the same
Moths to the flame

Cool grass under your feet
You put your records on
Soft kisses, scraped knees
Kings and queens and pawns

But the fires that we were born into
One day will grow cold
And the stories with these happy endings
Are sometimes left untold

In love it's all the same
Moths to the flame
In love it's all the same
Moths to the flame
In love it's all the same
Moths drawn to the flame
In love it's all the same
Moths drawn to the flame
