Knives

I know a love that keeps me calm in the storm Keeps the blood inside of me warm Wherever I go, it never leaves Like a suitcase of memories I know a love that's stronger than I am It beats me up, and keeps me trying And when I can't, it fights for me From boy to man and the in between I remember backpackin' by the water Lake days, clear see the bottom Free falling to words from the '90's, over fire pits Through scattered words and my mistakes I hope you heard, what I meant to say There will be times when it rains on you I'll be the life raft you can hold on to And on the day when I turn to dust I hope you know just how much I love you I know a love that looks me right in the eyes Helps me see beyond boundaries and lines Unveils a better side of me Sometimes, it's all i need I remember backpackin' by the water Lake days, clear see the bottom Free falling to words from the '90's over fire pits Through scattered words and my mistakes I hope you heard, what I meant to say There will be times when it rains on you I'll be the life raft you can hold on to, And on the day when i turn to dust, I hope you know just how much i love you This love i've found, life's greatest lesson In my wake, I hope it leaves an impression What has been paves the road for what's to be Every step I take, I'll let it lead I remember backpackin' by the water Lake days, clear see the bottom Free falling to words from the '90's over fire pits Through scattered words and my mistakes I hope you heard, what i meant to say There will be times when it rains on you I'll be the life raft you can hold on to And on the day when I turn to dust I hope you know just how much I love you
