Hard to believe it’s been six and a half years since this song came into the world. I still remember listening to it for the first time with my brother, as we cut through the desert expanse of New Mexico’s I-10 corridor, headed west toward Los Angeles. It’s been a lullaby on so many sleepless nights, a deep comfort in the early morning hours. A lot has happened since then, but I’m still brought to tears from time to time by the lines “I’m in love, I’m in pain”. This song is a cry of the heart. Easily one of the best ever written. To Adam and every other band member, thank you for creating such a masterpiece.

Goin' out in ways I haven't done Callin' out your name Tryin' not to hate myself For gettin' in the middle And shining every light upon it Still I miss the way you’d hold me close in a cold wind I caught you in our room staring at the light I’d been up all night Is this life and we’re just living it? Still I wanna celebrate our love I’ve been rollin' like a sixteen I can die on the floor I’ve been shackled and delivered There’s a girl out there with silence in her eyes Her truth is in the dark And I see you comin' in view Yeah, I need you I’m comin' in two In view Ain’t no wind that I could feel in a fleetin' rain Turn around and rip my heart Then look at it and say how you broke away Ain’t no way to elevate to another line With nowhere to go Ain’t no chains to hold you in To hold you to To losing you Hiding from an enemy When something inside me died It’s hard to see real clear these days With darkness on my mind As I stare into the ocean floor And I wonder where I once was Was I fallin' through the air tonight Then crumble into your arms? Is this love? Are you sure? Is it something you can control? I’m retired I’m in chains I’m in love I’m in pain All these changes everywhere Just go ahead and take my hand Hold me close, now let me go Try and understand I believe in all the power In doing what we can do We can try and learn to make it through Then come out the other side I don’t see you at all comin' in view How do we decide what we can do?
