[Verse 1]
Turning tides and shifting sands
Power fades and changes hands
And nothing is lost or gained right from the start
Whatever was true yesterday
Is true to the final page
But is it the same with the heart?
Or will time tear us apart?

[Verse 2]
The music between you and me
Has always been the minor key
Slowly drowning in our debts
We don't know why our hearts ache
Just that they do, at any rate
The hard times, they ain't even happened yet
Ah, but you know me, I'll take about any bet

[Chorus]
Honey, we're still hardwired
We got the heart to ride
Through these hard times
Hard times
Just like old-timers
Hold to the party line
Baby, we hold tight
Hardwired

[Verse 3]
A life to earn, an hour to spend
A second to break, a life to mend
This love we've made
A life to build, an hour to burn
A second to turn the life we've learned
Into one we'd easily trade
Oh, but here we still are today

[Chorus]
Honey, we're still hardwired
We got the heart to ride
Through these hard times
Hard times
Honey, just like old-timers
Hold to the party line
Baby, we hold tight
Hardwired

[Outro]
Honey, we hold tight
Hardwired
Honey, we hold tight
Hardwired
