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' |
