lyrics

We make mistakes
Sniping at each other
Foundations shake
From the force of all that thunder

The air is always freshest after the storm
Baby, we’ll feel better if our walls are gone
So let’s try to forget the shitty things we said
Try on a little sweetness before we go to bed

‘Cause all that childish shit I do
Well, I’d only do it to you
You’re my safest space
And I hope that I’m yours, too

Lay it on me
Tell me what’s got you scared
I can take it
Quit worrying about whether it’s fair

‘Cause what’s the point of putting ourselves through
All this if I can’t be there for you
I know you never wanted to seem weak
Well baby, you never looked that way to me

So if you’re sad let yourself be sad
The disconnect grows with each sob you hold back
And once you get it off your chest
You will feel love again

Loving you has a way of bringing me back
I was burned until I melted and then was recast
And if I had it all figured out
I forgot it when we met

Forget forever
A false measurement of time
Adding pressure
There’s tension growing, though we’re doing fine

Why would we trust these doubts in our mind
When it’s the ego we’re trying to leave behind
And if the moment’s all that you feel
Then baby, the future isn’t even real

Besides right now’s good enough for me
I love you and as far as I can see
Since being with you I’m learning
What kind of man I want to be
