15 Years (When We Made Love a Game) Copyright 2023 OpenMicMusic
Only children, playing lovers, tried outrunning the rain and thunder that seemed so far away, we just wanted to play.
Having issues, having babies. Holding back the flood that maybe this time it will wash us away.
It was over long before we grabbed our Calvin's from off the floor, and called it love but we loved no more...
When we made love a game. Pretended it was real. Acted like we loved without knowing how to feel Playing out of turn and cheating when no one was looking
When We made love, again, told us it was good. But could never be the same we only thought that we should keep on playing the game like we did when we first made love, We first made love a game.
Can't share my animus, the insecurity, the trust. It always hung around or it was nowhere to be found.
Our love died at 15 years 19 more filled with tears and pain 'til there was nothing left to say, we kept playing anyway.
Raising children, working jobs Paying bills, while the odds fell all the time and the stakes were always climbing...
When we made love a game pretending it was real. We were too young to play we didn't know how to feel, We played out of turn, cheating when we were turning around and around and around....
When we made love a game We never made love again When we made love a game We never made love again
When we made love a game.

Fine parable about how the reality of real life can destroy relationship once the real world takes over. The victors obviously are those that can sail on through the obstacles in spite of it all.
