lyrics
I wanna know what I don't understand
The wants of a man and the places we go
Come baby please wont you shine for me
My heart’s like the sea, it ebbs and it flows
But the things I couldn't say
Yeah the words get in the way
Don't tell me that's enough ‘cause I need a strong love
No more of that weak stuff, it's time to make a change
So tell me what I wanna know
I've been afraid of the things I might find
What I've left behind and lost on the road
But I wanna know the things I can't bear
And the people who care, will they stay or go?
But the things I couldn't say
Yeah the words get in the way
Don't tell me that's enough ‘cause I need a strong love
No more of that weak stuff, it’s time to make a change
I'm sure I want to, I just can’t handle the sad truth
That damn I might need you too much to walk away
So tell me what I wanna know
‘Cause I can't do this on my own
Don't tell me that's enough ‘cause I need a strong love
No more of that weak stuff, it’s time to make a change
Lord knows I want to, I just can't handle the sad truth
That goddamn I might need you too much to walk away
So tell me what I wanna know
The wants of a man and the places we go
Come baby please wont you shine for me
My heart’s like the sea, it ebbs and it flows
But the things I couldn't say
Yeah the words get in the way
Don't tell me that's enough ‘cause I need a strong love
No more of that weak stuff, it's time to make a change
So tell me what I wanna know
I've been afraid of the things I might find
What I've left behind and lost on the road
But I wanna know the things I can't bear
And the people who care, will they stay or go?
But the things I couldn't say
Yeah the words get in the way
Don't tell me that's enough ‘cause I need a strong love
No more of that weak stuff, it’s time to make a change
I'm sure I want to, I just can’t handle the sad truth
That damn I might need you too much to walk away
So tell me what I wanna know
‘Cause I can't do this on my own
Don't tell me that's enough ‘cause I need a strong love
No more of that weak stuff, it’s time to make a change
Lord knows I want to, I just can't handle the sad truth
That goddamn I might need you too much to walk away
So tell me what I wanna know

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption
