Always in All Ways
She can't believe the peace could be so sudden and so strong
Two scattered lives raked up and stuffed into a carry-on
I said I'd stay at least if I could not be strong
Oh God, we needed what we sold
We lifted off into the creepy, star-pricked, blackened sky
She couldn't bring herself to read it, till the ink was dry
She hid her face so no one there would see her cry
Oh God, we needed what we sold
So many times she cried
"I'm gonna lose my mind"
As many times I meant it
I told she could have mine
Oh, baby promise me again we will survive
Always in all ways
Always in all ways
I let her drift up in the soporific airplane hum
A brittle anti-hero left to juggle what may come
A runner's born to cut, a cutter's born to run
Oh, babe we needed what we sold
So many times she cried
"I'm gonna lose my mind"
As many times I meant it
I told she could have mine
Oh, baby promise me again we will survive
Always in all ways
Always in all ways
And when I whispered in her ear, I'd never go
She faked liked she was sleeping
I saw her eyes blink in the window
Oh, baby promise me again we will survive
Always in all ways
Always in all ways
(Always in all ways)
(Always in all ways)
