Love Song lyrics - Macklemore

Yo,

I'm gettin older now

23 years old and half of me just wants to make the move and go and settle down

The other half's like, "Hell no, you better mess around. Don't let me down, especially when you got an album comin' out"

When I first saw you, I'm like "Aw shit, goddamit look what God did. Hail Mary Jesus!"

Three years later I'm sittin' in our apartment thinkin' about all the places that my heart's been

I mean it's crazy right?

This is maybe wife [?] - the one that found me in a drought, pulled me out and made me right

Through the ups and downs we stuck it out and now you're leavin' town

Another couple thousand miles south, which leads to crazy fights

[Phew]

And I don't know how to deal with it, I gotta be real with ya

Uh,

Each day I get filled with the - feelin' of realer love, I wanna continue, what

But,

This ain't the same old love song cause we been through the depths where all the trust is gone

For months on end all we have is phone calls

What,

You know what makes it worth it?

To watch someone progress

To have them watch you

Someone that you respect and value and cry to

It's something so comforting cause it could bring so much truth

But then magic can be stagnant and the relationship doesn't move

The commitments to yourself

And that you're always learning, to acknowledge you're both perfect and still wanna keep working

To progress as a person but as an individual entity and then come together as a unit but still maintain that identity

It sounds so elementary but it's so complex, it's the most delicate balance to get away from attachments

But it could work

I'm attemptin' it,

Nah, we're livin' it

To keep defining and redefining what love and commitment is

Sing that, come on

Every time I can't ignore you

Every time I come around I see your face always movin'

Yo,

Just workin on dependency

Sometimes the thing you love the most in this world you just gotta let it be

It hurts to have to set it free

And if it does, it doesn't work we both know that it was meant to breath

Can't hide from experiences

And there's so many people out there in this world were gonna find interestin'

It's only a matter of time before that right connection

Thousands of miles away, whatchu expect?

You see I'm wonderin' where are you?

Tearin' the label off of a beer as I'm sittin at this barstool

You would tell me not to call you, to never use you as a fall through

To sit with my emotion, but the lump in my throat builds as the heart rips open up

And not even your voice alone can shift to go and close it shut

So I just let it flow through me

Feelin' lifted from the spirit like the bag in American Beauty

And if your life truly flashes in front of you, when you die just know the best time of my life has been lovin' you

I love you, you know

Let's get em, c'mon

We been together but in my head,

We would break apart; I would hold my heart, tied inside

But you knew that my soul could not be given to anybody easily

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

(Ohhhhhhh yeah)

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

It's a beautiful thing isn't it?

One more time Ev,

Every time I can't ignore you

(Feels good don't it?)

Every time I come around I see your face always movin'
