Love Song - Macklemore

I’m getting older now

23 years old and half of me just wants to make the move and go and settle down

The other half’s like, «Hell no, you better mess around

Don’t let me down, especially when you got an album coming out»

When I first saw you

I’m like, aw shit goddamn it look what God did

Hail Mary Jesus

Three years later I’m sitting in our apartment

Thinking about all the places that my heart’s been

I mean it’s crazy right, this is maybe wife

The one that found me in a drought, pulled me out, and made me right

Through the ups and downs we stuck it out and now you’re leaving town

Another couple thousand miles south

Which leads to crazy fights

And I don’t know how to deal with it

I gotta be real with ya

Each day I get filled with the

Feeling of realer love

Wanna continue what

But

This ain’t the same old love song

Cause we been through the depths where all the trust is gone

For months on end all we have is phone calls

What

You know what makes it worth it

To watch someone progress, to have them watch you

Someone that you respect and value and cry too

It’s something so comforting cause it could bring so much truth

But then magic can be stagnant and the relationship doesn’t move

The commitments to yourself, and that you’re always learning

To acknowledge you’re both perfect and still wanna keep working

To progress as a person, but as an individual entity

And then come together as a unit but still maintain that identity

It sounds so elementary, but it’s so complex

It’s the most delicate balance to get away from attachments

But it could work, I’m attempted, nah, we’re living it

To keep defining and redefining what love and commitment is

Sing that, come on

Every time I can’t ignore you

Every time I come around I see your face always moving

Just working on dependency

Sometimes the thing you love the most in this world, you just gotta let it be

It hurts to have to set it free

And if it does, it doesn’t work we both know that it was meant to breathe

Can’t hide from experiences

And there’s so many people out there in this world we’re gonna find interesting

It’s only a matter of time before that right connection

Thousands of miles away, what you expect?

You see I’m wondering where are you

Tearing the label off of a beer as I’m sitting at this bar stool

You would tell me not to call you

To never use you as a fall through

To sit with my emotion

But the lump in my throat builds as the heart rips open up

And not even your voice alone can shift to go and close it shut

So I just let it flow through me

Feeling lifted from the spirit like the bag in American Beauty

And if your life truly flashes in front of you

When you die just know the best time of my life has been loving you

I love you, you know

Lets get em, come on

We been together but in my head

We would break apart

I would hold my heart, tied inside

But you knew that my soul could not be given to anybody easily

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

It’s a beautiful thing isn’t it

One more time Ev

Every time I can’t ignore you

Feels good don’t it

Every time I come around I see your face always moving
