Love Song

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
 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'
