In Your Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I will wait for you
'Til the sun turns into ashes
And bows down to the moon
I will wait for you
It's a long hard war
Ah, but I can grin and bear it
'Cause I know what the hell I'm fightin' for
And I will wait for you

[Chorus]
We were never made to run forever
We were just meant to go long enough
To find what we were chasin' after
I believe I found it here
In your love

[Verse 2]
I will stand my ground
I'm a bad man looking for takers
You're the finest thing around
So I will stand my ground
'Cause it's cold out there
And you know some men search for ages
For the love that I have found
So I will stand my ground
[Chorus]
We were never made to run forever
We were just meant to go long enough
To find what we were chasin' after
I believe I found it here
In your love

[Bridge]
Honey, I will wait for you
Honey, I will stand my ground

[Verse 3]
I will work for you
'Til my hands are tired and bleedin'

I know what it is from us I'm needin'
I will work for you
Like a team of mules
Pullin' Hell off from its hinges
It's the love that I'll keep tendin'
I will work for you

[Chorus]
We were never made to run forever
We were just meant to go long enough
To find what we were chasin' after
I believe I found it here
In your love
[Outro]
Honey, I will wait for you
Honey, I will stand my ground
I will work for you
I will stand my ground

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

“In Your Love” is a tender romantic ballad featuring promises to wait for, work for and fight for a love that, while difficult, is worth it in the end. The love interest in the song itself remains gender neutral, however in the song’s music video Childers was very intentional in choosing to portray a fictional romance between two male coal miners, played by openly gay actors Colton Haynes and James Scully. The music video was inspired by Childers’ family’s history in the mining industry and Childers’ gay cousin who grew up in Northern Kentucky and is like a brother to him. Childers stated, “He taught me so much about singing; he was my first tough critic. And just thinking about him not having a music video on CMT that spoke to him.” Childers’ collaborator for the music video, Silas House stated, “The antidote to shame is seeing yourself in the world.”
