To Kelsey, I'll love you for as long as there is breath in my lungs.

lyrics

I was awake but my eyes were closed,
pushing on my own through the night.
You were adrift haunted by a ghost,
trying to make the most of life.
We met alone on a saturday,
walking far away in the wild.
A day and a kiss and it all had changed
with a promise made of mine.

That some days we'll stumble and some days we'll fall.
Some days we'll wonder if it's worth it at all.
Life can be heartless and life can be cruel,
but I'll keep my chin up 'cause you keep yours up too.

We talk alone with the tv on
but we haven't watched any shows.
The words that you say, they unravel me
but the trust you keep in me grows.
You worry your fears aren't a passing thing
and I'm listening, you're not alone.
When I wake at dawn, you are fast asleep,
and it's comforting when you know.

That some days we'll stumble and some days we'll fall.
Some days we'll feel like this promise is gone.
Life can be heartless and life can be cruel,
but still we will build here, this world made for two.

Key in the door of our first home;
we're on our own for a while.
We're scared and we're worn but we're full of hope
to make our own world inside it.
The sun's setting now on the golden hour
as we take our vows for a lifetime.
And just as the birds need company,
if you lean on me, then we'll be alright.

For some days we'll stumble and some days we'll fall,
and some days we'll wonder if it's all worth the cost.
Life can be heartless and life can be cruel,
but the longest of lives is too short next to you.

Arcade Island recommends:

Mr. Plastic
by Glowbug

This album is a perfect example of music for the sake of music. There are little to no intelligible words, but lyrics are simply (catchy) melodies, almost as if we should move to the music, not flair. Arcade Island

Tour EP
by Teen Daze

I love how this album exemplifies feelings and moods, the songs aren't necessarily about events. Sometimes I think that says more about life than anything else. Arcade Island
