[Verse 1]
I think of our life
Photos curled at the corners
Coffee gone cold
But your laugh still burns bright in the air
Time slips through our hands
Like sand through your fingers
Yet you’re lying right here
And I still get that first-night stare
[Chorus]
In the land of forever
Where the clocks all fall apart
We feel the pain that pushes
At the fences of our hearts
Love’s first kiss still trembling
On these lips that time can’t steal
I hold you and I’m asking
Can this be real?
Can this be real?
(the passion of love)
[Verse 2]
You trace every scar
Like you’re reading my story
Every broken-before
That you chose to carry with you
We argue
We ache
We bend but we don’t shatter
Even hurt has a place
In the colors between me and you
[Chorus]
In the land of forever
Where the clocks all fall apart
We feel the pain that pushes
At the fences of our hearts
Love’s first kiss still trembling
On these lips that time can’t steal
I hold you and I’m asking
Can this be real?
Can this be real?
(the passion of love, oh)
(the passion of love)
[Bridge]
Maybe forever’s
Just this moment held tighter
Your hand in mine
In the dark
Breathing lighter
If this is a dream
Don’t wake me
Don’t heal
Let every bruise remind me
This love is real
[Chorus]
In the land of forever
Where the clocks all fall apart
We feel the pain that pushes
At the fences of our hearts
Love’s first kiss still trembling
On these lips that time can’t steal
I hold you and I’m whispering
This is real
This is real
(the passion of love)
