Love Song (feat. Evan Roman)

Yo, I'm getting older now

Twenty-three 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 coming out

When I first saw you, I'm like

Aw shit, goddamnit, look what God did

Hail Mary, Jesus

Three years later I'm sitting in our apartment

Thinking 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 leaving 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 you

Each day I get filled with the feeling of realer love

I wanna continue what, but

This ain't the same old love song

'Cause we been to 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 that magic can be stagnant if 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

Then come together as a unit but still maintain that identity

It sounds so elementary, but it's so complex

The most delicate balance to get away from attachments

But it could work, I'm attempting it

Now, we're living 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 moving

Yo, just working on dependency

Sometimes the thing you love the most in the world

You just gotta let it be

It hurts to have to set it free

And if it does or doesn't work

We both know that it was meant to breathe

Can't hide from experiences

There's so many people out there in this world

We're gonna find interesting

It's only a matter of time before that right connection

Thousands of miles away, what you expect?

You see, I'm wondering, where are you?

Tearing the label off of a beer as I'm sitting 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 or go and close it shut

So I just let it flow through me

Feeling lifted from the spirit like the bag in American Beauty

If your life truly flashes in front of you when you die

Just know the best time of my life has been loving you

I love you, you know

Let's get 'em, come on

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

Whoa, whoa

Oh, yeah

Whoa, whoa

It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?

One time, Ev

Every time I can't ignore you

Feels good, don't it?

Every time I come around

I see your face always moving
