lyrics

Next time I won't be so quick
To say I'm in love when i shake like this
Every storm on my sea has passed
I won't call it love till it lasts

There are so many ways to love
You shiver you ache or you're comforted by it
There are mistakes and there are the ones
You'd die for their love or die of it
I'm always taking wrong turns
Burning too bright and burning out quickly
I've had my lessons but I'll never learn
I keep hoping love will come fix me

How do you measure whether it's love
When it calls at your door
All you know is what you've been told
You've never had your own before

So I'm turning out all of the lights
And I'm finding comfort in my own arms tonight
Taking the next train out of my head
Into my body instead
Cuz there are so many ways to leave
And I've witnessed them all from both sides of the street
I am world weary before my time
And I'm calloused from bodies colliding with mine

So next time I won't be so quick
To say I'm in love when it hurts like this
Every storm on my sea has passed
I won't call it love…
No I won't call it love…
I won't call it love ' til it lasts

music is exceptionally useful for communicating the nuance and complexity of the human experience because it is an emotional language, we process and respond to it in a different way than thoughts, beyond the limits of linguistics. that's why it's special and mysterious and i love it. that's why i write and sing and play instruments and make records. that's why i share my songs with you. ... more
