Love Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Macklemore] Yo, 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, we wanna continue it, 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 But you know what makes it worth it? To watch someone progress, to have them watch you Someone that you respect and value and cry to 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 The most delicate balance to get away from attachments But it can work, I'm attempted, nah, we're living it To keep defining and redefining what love and commitment is Sing that, come on [Chorus 1: Evan Roman] Every time I can't Ignore you Every time I come around I see your face Always moving [Verse 2: Macklemore] Yo, 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 or 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 Let's get 'em, come on [Chorus 2: Evan Roman] 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 [Outro: Evan Roman (Macklemore)] (It's a beautiful thing isn't it? One more time Ev) Every time I can't Ignore you (It feels good, don't it?) Every time I come around I see your face (Yes) Always moving
