Lyrics

[Verse 1]
After the first stars formed, after the dinos fell
After the first light flickered outta this motel
1991, Mama pushing like hell
Tangled in blood and vine
[Verse 2]
From my first steps to my first words
To waddling around, looking at birds
To the teenage nightmare, mine and yours
Thank God we made it through
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born for loving you
Just something I was made to do
Doesn't matter what dreams come true
I was born for loving you
[Verse 3]
Now we're here, but where is here?
Sometimes we both disappear
Into that shadow box of fear
That tiny old abyss
[Verse 4]
From the first kiss to the first fuck
I don't think it's just good luck
Take me to the back of your pickup truck
Show me a thing or two
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born for loving you
That's just something I was made to do
Doesn't matter what dreams come true
I was born for loving you
[Verse 5]
When the hard times come, and the hard times stay
When they stick around and won't go away
When it seems there's nothing you can do or say
Nowhere you can turn
[Chorus]
From the last breath of my first death
To this lifetime and lifetimes left
Congratulations, no regrets
It's true
[Chorus]
I was born for loving you
That's just something I was made to do
Doesn't matter what dreams come true
I was born for loving you
[Outro]
Just something I was made to do
Doesn't matter what dreams come true
I was born for loving you
