Verse 1
There’s a screen door slammin’ in the midnight air
Your truck’s tail lights vanish somewhere
We say we’re done, but we both know
It ain’t that easy lettin’ go
You kiss me hard like it’s goodbye
Then pull me back like one more try
We’re gasoline and a match of dust
Somewhere between love and lust
Chorus
It’s love, it’s hate, it’s a fire we can’t put out
It’s hurt every time we scream and shout
We fall apart, then we combust
Tangled up in love and lust
We swear we’re through, then we adjust
Two broken hearts runnin’ on lust
Verse 2
Your blue jeans crumpled on my floor
We’ve fought this fight a hundred times before
You say my name like a prayer at dawn
Then by daylight you’re half-way gone
Your touch is sweet, your words are rough
Forever’s never long enough
We build it up just to let it rust
Somewhere between love and lust
Chorus
It’s love, it’s hate, it’s a fire we can’t put out
It’s hurt every time we scream and shout
We fall apart, then we combust
Tangled up in love and lust
We swear we’re through, then we adjust
Two stubborn souls hooked on lust
Bridge
We’re a backroad with no end sign
Cheap red wine and a fault line
Every promise turns to dust
But we keep leanin’ on the rush
Breakdown
Love makes angels outta fools
Hate makes villains break the rules
Hurt leaves scars you can’t disguise
Lust puts hunger in our eyes
Final Chorus
It’s love, it’s hate, it’s a thin white line
Between your heart and mine
It’s hurt that cuts but builds our trust
If we can rise above the lust
Or maybe we’re just what we must—
A little too much love and lust
Outro
That screen door’s still hangin’ loose
Like me and you and the truth
We’re a storm that never adjusts
Just love, hate, hurt… and lust.
