The Only Thing

The Only Thing

Better hold up

Better hold out

Better check your heart

And lay your mind to rest

We've been held up

In a blowout

Since before this situation came to pass

And I know it like you know I know it

My love

And I try so hard to let it all go

My love

One more morning

Is it evening?

Count the thread of days

Moving without time

   

There's a blue jay

In its song play

Someone special

must be waiting on the line

And I know it like you know I know it

My love

And I'm trying hard to figure this all out

My love

Take the children to the ocean

Sings a heady dream

That never sees the sun

I feel stupid

Entertain us

What's contagious

Is just how we've come undone

And I know it like you know I know it

My love

It's the only thing that really matters now

My love

Yeah, you know it

We'll be just fine

Without time

When they pull us from the crash

Break the outlines

Cast the old fires

When mother mercy isn't taking cash

And I know it like you know I know it

And I try so hard to let it all go

It's the only thing that really matters now

My love
