Solid Shoulders Lyrics & Chords By Judie Tzuke

So right now we’re drinking wine together,
Talking at a million miles an hour,
Checking our expressions out and watching as we smile.
Trusting in our instincts to tell us if it’s okay to believe in something real, if only for a while
Are we friends swallowing the bitter dregs of empty glasses left to spill, wasted on the floor?
Or are we here to laugh, to cry, to rest our heads on solid shoulders and nothing more?

I hope that I’m in love
I hope that this is not a game
I hope tomorrow when I wake up I’ll feel the same

Touching and holding on to each other,
I don’t want to be close to another
And never want to miss a thing and so I breathe you in.
Is this what we’re both wanting?
If not tell me the truth, ‘cause my head is spinning
The ground is opening up to pull me down around and around
And I don’t recall exactly what was said at all
Oh are we here to laugh, to cry, to rest our heads on solid shoulders and never fall?

I hope that I’m in love
I hope that this is not a game
I hope tomorrow when I wake up I’ll feel the same

(I hope that this is not a game
I hope tomorrow when I wake up I’ll feel the same)

Back and forth we give our hearts wrapped in every doubt and fear
Till there’s nothing left to lose, we throw it all away,
Clinging on to faith and love, placing it so high above
Too important to let go, with pain we have to pay

Is this what we expected?
Tell it to me straight, ‘cause I am slipping
Are we here to laugh, to cry, to rest our heads on solid shoulders?
I know that’s why.

I hope that I’m in love
I hope that this is not a game
I hope tomorrow when I wake up I’ll feel the same

‘Cause life’s a battle, you’ve got to live in it to win
But I am falling, don’t leave me hanging

I hope that I’m in love
I hope that this is not a game
I hope tomorrow when I wake up I’ll feel the same

‘Cause life’s a battle, you’ve got to live in it to win
But I am falling, don’t leave me hanging
