lyrics

I took your call in Philadelphia
Like an early morning rain
Like a right turn up the higher road
On a San Francisco train

You weren’t too shy to try and hide it
We both had lonesome in our lungs
While I was in some college basement
Hooters posters crawling bugs

Love is not a game
You play to win
There is no inside track
I say again
Love is not a game
You play to win
But we had it all anyway
TIl by grace of god there came that day
We had to play again

You were such fashionable people
Never caught wearing the same thing
I considered you a trophy
That burst right out the trophy case

Drinking our first real maragaritas
At Maria’s in Santa Fe
Then fighting through a sandstorm
Tears and grins strewn on our face

Love is not a game
You play to win
There is no inside track
I say again
Love is not a game
You play to win
But we had it all anyway
TIl by grace of god there came that day
We had to play again

I still consider you my family
I hope you visit by my grave
When the Reaper comes a-callin’
And sticks me back in Plato’s Cave

Our every moment was a present
Even though things they aren’t the same
And though we both feel like we’re losing
Love is not a game

Love is not a game
You play to win
There is no inside track
I say again
Love is not a game
You play to win
But we had it all anyway
TIl by grace of god there came that day
We had to play again
