lyrics
Well my mind's still limber but my heart's grown old
From the time I left the only place I know
And it makes me happy we didn't get let go
I couldn't stand to see our love just decompose
Now I've been walking home nearly every night
And here's to everyone I ever loved but had to leave behind
For the one thing I can't find though I've been looking half my life
And it's damn hard to explain but I will try it if you like
If you ask me once I'll tell you so
That the blue between us never felt so cold
And I miss the folk singers from the days of old
When a three-chord song could save your soul
And no I'm never on time least that's what I'm told
So why's everything feel like it moves too slow?
And if I were scared I wouldn't let it show
‘Cause if I die tonight I'm not going home
Why's it seem so wrong to miss the town you love?
When there's just one state that you cannot stop thinking of
I wouldn't say I'm patriotic but I think that's what I've become
Sometimes it takes where you are not, just to remember where you're from
Was it my fault that I meant every single word I said?
When I told you it was not the end
And if everything goes wrong, I hope we can get along
If I lost you I would lose my best friend
And now we're weathering the storm, side by side we're looking on
It takes a certain kind of love to bear this load
But it's not the tired romance of the open road
From the time I left the only place I know
And it makes me happy we didn't get let go
I couldn't stand to see our love just decompose
Now I've been walking home nearly every night
And here's to everyone I ever loved but had to leave behind
For the one thing I can't find though I've been looking half my life
And it's damn hard to explain but I will try it if you like
If you ask me once I'll tell you so
That the blue between us never felt so cold
And I miss the folk singers from the days of old
When a three-chord song could save your soul
And no I'm never on time least that's what I'm told
So why's everything feel like it moves too slow?
And if I were scared I wouldn't let it show
‘Cause if I die tonight I'm not going home
Why's it seem so wrong to miss the town you love?
When there's just one state that you cannot stop thinking of
I wouldn't say I'm patriotic but I think that's what I've become
Sometimes it takes where you are not, just to remember where you're from
Was it my fault that I meant every single word I said?
When I told you it was not the end
And if everything goes wrong, I hope we can get along
If I lost you I would lose my best friend
And now we're weathering the storm, side by side we're looking on
It takes a certain kind of love to bear this load
But it's not the tired romance of the open road

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
