Found a way
To break away
From the one
You say that you love
Now you cry out your eyes
Day and night you set free
The one that you love
And it's true
I don't remember you
But I'd believe if you say that we met
I get confused
Nights I've been wondering
I thought I was already dead
But man I loved
Yeah I loved
When I loved
It was love
It was love
Or at least
The closest I've come
And the coffee, the cream
The blood in my dreams
Are the ones
That you used to know
And the gas the plane
The interstate
Live the ones
You don't have to know
And I regret
This sad and awful truth
But my mouth it'll get away from me
You, I just put up with you,
Kid, I stayed cause you wouldn't leave
Remember love?
Oh, love
When we loved
It was love
It was love
Or at least, as close as I've come
And maybe Joan was running all alone
And there is a shortcut, home
Putting a gun to your brain
Man, to take all that you got
And the truth, that I was just scared for you,
But for me that's the way that it comes
You'd gotten used to me and my awful tongue
But god, didn't we have some fun?
When we made love
In the van
And I drove with your hand on my lap
And when San Diego got too unkind
We just picked up and left em behind
And we had some love
And some hope
A full tank of gas and a wide open road
It was love
To us
It was all that we had
And there's days
You just break
The best thing you have
But I still call it love
For now, it's the closest I've come.
