23 years old and half of me just wants to make
the move and go an d settle down
The other half's like, "Hell no, you better mess around. Don't let me down,
especially when you got an album comin' out"
When I first saw you, I'm like "Aw shit,
goddamit look what God did. Hail Mary Jesus!"
Three years later I'm sittin' in our apartment thinkin'
about all the places that my heart's been
This is maybe wife [?] - the one that found me in a drought,
pulled me out and made me right
Through the ups and downs we stuck it out
and now you're leavin' town
Another couple thousand miles
south, which leads to crazy fights
And I don't know how to deal with it,
Each day I get filled with the - feelin' of realer love,
This ain't the same old love song cause we been through
the depths where all the trust is gone
You know what makes it worth it? To
Someone that you respect and value
It's something so comforting cause it
could bring so much truth
But then magic can be stagnant and the
relationship doesn't move
The commitments to yourself
And that you're always learning,
to acknowledge you're both perfect and still wanna keep working
To progress as a person but as an individual entity and
then come together as a unit but still maintain that identity
It sounds so elementary but it's so complex,
it's the most delicate balance to get away from attachments
To keep defining and redefining what
Just workin on dependency
Sometimes the thing you love the most
in this world you just gotta let it be
It hurts to have to set it free
it doesn't work we both know that it was meant to breath
Can't hide from experiences
And there's so many people out there in this
world were gonna find interestin'
It's only a matter of time before
Tearin' the label off of a beer as
I'm sittin at this barstool
You would tell me not to call you,
to never use you as a fall through
but the lump in my throat builds as the heart rips open up
And not even your voice alone
can shift to go and close it shut
So I just let it flow through me
Feelin' lifted from the spirit like
the bag in American Beauty
And if your life truly flashes in front of you,
when you die just know the best time of my life has been lovin' you
We been together but in my head,
We would break apart; I would
hold my heart, tied inside
But you knew that my soul could not
be given to anybody easily
