about

This song is an attempt to sum up all of the travails one encounters while being anchored to a complicated fellow.

lyrics

I could never walk away from you
Saying something I still think is true
From the moment you said "I do"
The wind was blowing south
Maybe someday

Circumstances won't succumb so right
All this struggle won't be to abide
Adding up what we said tonight
Our run is hung out loud

The setting sun can't cover my disguise
But I'll prove us through my misery
They'll say our love is what we can't deny
I'll protect it, you will see, you're never gonna regret me

Do you tarry on a separate life?
Where your dreams aren't so deferred, denied
I'm gonna make them believe you right
I now I let you down, but there's tomorrow

Parallels reach out too blind to see
Dragging down beyond antiquity
When I hold you, are you holding me?
Your hope is still unbowed

The setting sun can't cover my disguise
But I'll prove us through my misery
They'll say our love is what we can't deny
I'll protect it, you will see, you're never gonna regret me

The setting sun can't cover my disguise
But I'll prove us through my misery
They'll say our love is what we can't deny
I'll protect it, you will see, you're never gonna regret me
It's not enough to be yours till I die
Am I speaking plainfully? Do I trouble you to sleep?
The sky above, hangs down my wounded life
I'll protect you, you will see, you're never gonna regret me

I will never walk away

I played drums on this. It is the first song I've ever recorded myself on the drums for. I thought my emotionally-stunted drumming suited the song better.
