lyrics

When I was young I thought love was the only thing that could break my heart
How did you learn to sharpen your shoulders like that?

Your words still dribble out of my mouth
Still, I’m not worthy of your presence
Through all of this I realized
That my best bet is still to love you
My best bet is still to love you
My best bet

Every bird starts to look like a phoenix when you see it once
Resurrected from a mangled corpse

And the roadkill rewinds itself
Into a creature standing there
I’ll run myself off the road believing
My best bet is still to love you
My best bet is still to love you
My best bet


Driving too fast in the rain when I couldn’t see
Save for the stunned silence and the clarity
Each time I hurtle under an overpass
Carrying no relief for those passing over me
I keep fleeing from the truth that I’ve been meaning to see
How do I love you, when you won’t let me?
How do I love you, when you won’t let me?


When I was young I thought love was the only thing that could break my heart
