This one is just so special. I heard of these LA guys called FRENSHIP and they write such beautiful songs from the heart so we di...
[Verse 1]
I know a love that keeps me calm in the storm
And keeps the blood inside of me warm
Wherever I go it never leaves
Like a suitcase of memories
I know a love that's stronger than I am
It beats me up, and keeps me trying
And when I can't, it fights for me
From boy to man, and the in-between
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember backpackin' by the water
Late days, I could see the bottom
Free-falling to words from the 90's over fire pits
Through scattered words and my mistakes
I hope you heard what I meant to say
[Chorus]
There will be times when it rains on you
I'll be the knife edge you can hold on to
And on the day when I turn to dust
I hope you know just how much I love you
[Drop]
You
[Verse 2]
I know a love that looks me right in the eyes
Helps me see beyond boundaries and lines
Unveils a better side of me
Sometimes it's all I need
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember backpacking by the water
Late days, I could see the bottom
Free-falling to words from the 90's over fire pits
Through scattered words and my mistakes
I hope you heard what I meant to say
[Chorus]
There will be times when it rains on you
I'll be the knife edge you can hold on to
And on the day when I turn to dust
I hope you know just how much I love you
[Drop]
You
[Bridge]
This love I've found, life's greatest lesson
In my wake, I hope it leaves an impression
What has been paves the road for what's to be
With every step I take, I'll let it lead
[Chorus]
I remember backpackin' by the water
Late days, I could see the bottom
Free-falling to words from the 90's over fire pits
Through scattered words and my mistakes
I hope you heard what I meant to say
[Outro]
There will be times when it rains on you
I'll be the knife edge you can hold on to
And on the day when I turn to dust
I hope you know just how much I love you
You
You
