Brian West - Steel Hearts Lyrics

Day after day, under those factory lights
We're covered in grease, but it feels so right
Your hands on the line, but I'm losing my mind
Two men building machines, but what did we find?

Late nights after shifts, no one else around
In the shadows of the shop, we don't make a sound
Your touch is rough, but it's what I crave
We're living this love that we can't ever save

Steel hearts and calloused hands
Two men loving in a world that don't understand
Families watching, but they can't see
The fire between us burns secretly

You say it can't happen, but you pull me in
Sweat on your brow, but I taste the sin
Behind those closed doors, we make our own rules
But out in the daylight, we play the fools

Our fathers built cars, and so do we
But this love we've found, they'll never let it be
I hear your voice echo in the steel
And every time you touch me, I know it's real

Steel hearts and calloused hands
Two men loving in a world that don't understand
Families watching, but they can't see
The fire between us burns secretly

We dream of running away, but it's just talk
Stuck in the life where we can only walk
But when the day ends, and the lights go dim
I'm lost in you, and I feel it again

You clock out, but I'm still here
In the dark corners, you're the one I hold dear
We're bound by the world, but free in the night
Two auto workers, trapped in this fight
