Lyrics I Need This To Be Love - Maia Sharp

I left the town that was my future
To ride along with you
You said I'm going to California
So I was going to California too
You get a thrill from causing trouble
And life has offered nothing more
So we kept it to the backroads
Looking for an easy score
I need this to be love
I need this to be love this time
It's the only reason good enough

We stole our way across Nebraska
And passed the great divide
We thundered through the canyons
Looking for a place to hide
Swept away by your ambition
My families' name can't save me now
So turn the key in the ignition
And if our freedom will allow
I need this to be love
I need this to be love this time
It's the only reason good enough
I need this to be love this time
It's the only reason good enough
For the risks that we've taken
And the life I've forsaken
And friends left behind
Cause unlikely schemes
And the grandest of dreams
Will fade after time
I need this

Now we're far across the border
And still we're on the run
All we saw of California
Was the barrel of a gun
So leave me on the highway
Cause they're looking out for two
Lay low and go your own way
And if we make the rendezvous
I need this to be love
I need this to be love this time
It's the only reason good enough
I need this to be love
I need this to be love this time
It's the only reason good enough

I need this to be love
I need this to be love this time
It's the only reason good enough

Aah
Aah
Aah
Aah
I need this to be love
I need this to be love this time
It's the only reason good enough
