about

One of the non-FAWM tracks, I wrote the last verse of this first, on a morning run, and the rest in the shower after. Writing in the shower is tough: I need a waterproof iPhone case, and it would be nice if it would remind me to rinse the shampoo out of my hair when I finish the chorus.

lyrics

We came through the rain and we came through the winter
And we watched the fire eat back the past into cinders
And we drew in the smoke a heart and an arrow
Tho sometimes the doorways can seem far too narrow
You took a nap and I took a shower
And we dressed up to take down the world in an hour
But the world was untameable victory unnameable
And I know that you're worried that I might be changeable
But I'll still love you all the way down

Sometimes the mornings come on brutal and cold
And sometimes our bodies feel battered and old
It's too soon to cry and too late to laugh
But I'll take it all in and I'll offer you half
And I'll still love you all the way down

I'll still love you like the edge of the ocean
Like perpetual motion like I just had the notion
Like the leaves in the northeast turning yellow and red
I just can't seem to get your eyes out of my head

Brush stroke clouds cross the sky like a wave to the shore
And I'm thinking about things like I haven't before
What if you were right and what if I was sorry
And what if we both knew there would be no tomorrow's
I'd still love you all the way down
