a summer ago we were inseparable
got burns and bruises but we both still came out gold
coffee machines and so many big dreams we built beneath the house that we called home
our home
it wasn’t enough and it started to rust
we watched the future that we built just slip away
i still think of you almost every day
but there are good things in life no one can force you to take
breathe easy, it’s always my fresh blood on the concrete
take your time, i’ve never been quite able to have a mean streak
we’re both hurt, and we don’t have to talk about who hit the ground first, but
when you do, won’t you please leave just a little room for the truth
you know that i miss you
you know that i love you
you know that my mom still prays for you
you know that i miss you
you know that i love you
you know that my mom still prays for you
you know that i miss you
you know that i love you
you know that my mom still prays for you
you know that i miss you
you know that i love you
you know that my mom still prays for you

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
