Yo,
|
I'm gettin older now
|
23 years old and half of me just wants to make the move and go and 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
|
I mean it's crazy right?
|
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
|
[Phew]
|
And I don't know how to deal with it, I gotta be real with ya
|
Uh,
|
Each day I get filled with the - feelin' of realer love, I wanna continue, what
|
But,
|
This ain't the same old love song cause we been through the depths where all the trust is gone
|
For months on end all we have is phone calls
|
What,
|
|
You know what makes it worth it?
|
To watch someone progress
|
To have them watch you
|
Someone that you respect and value and cry to
|
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
|
But it could work
|
I'm attemptin' it,
|
Nah, we're livin' it
|
To keep defining and redefining what love and commitment is
|
Sing that, come on
|
|
Every time I can't ignore you
|
Every time I come around I see your face always movin'
|
|
Yo,
|
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
|
And if it does, 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 that right connection
|
Thousands of miles away, whatchu expect?
|
You see I'm wonderin' where are you?
|
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
|
To sit with my emotion, 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
|
I love you, you know
|
Let's get em, c'mon
|
|
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
|
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
|
(Ohhhhhhh yeah)
|
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
|
|
It's a beautiful thing isn't it?
|
One more time Ev,
|
|
Every time I can't ignore you
|
(Feels good don't it?)
|
Every time I come around I see your face always movin'
|
