The Love Season

The Love Season

Verse 1

You're everything I need

You are not what I'm looking for

You're the only true friend I've ever had

I want nothing to do with you

The days were long and hot

But the nights were longer and cooler

That didn't change how I felt about you

Until this very moment

Verse 2

Belongings in the hallway

Your dirty clothing in the bathtub

Everything now out in the open

Your heart on your sleeve has company

I grew, I lied

I now know that I should have tried

To stop from drowning in the rain

I've made mistakes repeatedly

Bridge

The warmth, patience and joy

Have all dissipated from ourselves

Piercing winds and unforgiving nights

Have come around again

Chorus 1

Withered and bruised 

How dare you take me for granted

How dare you take advantage of me

I wanted to see you shine

As you became more of yourself

I fell in love with you

Chorus 2

It was you and I against the world

It was you and I feeling alive

At the height of the love season
