[Verse 1]
Photograph of us
In a spotlight
On a hot night
I was drifting in and out
Reticent on the off chance
I'm blunter than a bullseye
Begging for peace of mind
[Refrain]
I get ahead of myself
Bracing for a bombshell
[Verse 2]
Your love written on a blank check
Wear it around your neck
I was at a loss
But you come to me on a fault line
Deep inside a goldmine
Hovering like a moth
[Refrain]
I lose a bit of myself
Laying out eggshells
[Chorus: with MJ Lenderman]
I've been yours for so long
We come right back to it
I let my mind run wild
Don't know why I do it
But you just settle in
Like a song with no end
If I can keep up
We'll get right back to it
[Verse 3]
If I swerve in and out of my lane
Burning up an old flame
Turn a jealous eye
I'll fall down into a fair game
Lick a wound that was not
Ever mine
[Refrain]
I get ahead of myself
Refusing anyone's help
[Chorus: with MJ Lenderman]
I've been yours for so long
We come right back to it
I let my mind run wild
I don't know why I do it
But you just settle in
Like a song with no end
If I can keep up
We'll get right back to it
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: with MJ Lenderman]
I've been yours for so long
We come right back to it
I let my mind run wild
Don't know why I do it
But you just settle in
Like a song with no end
If I can keep up
We'll get right back to it
We'll get right back to it
We'll get right back to it

Katie Crutchfield:
I wrote it backstage at Wolf Trap when I was on tour opening for Jason Isbell and Sheryl Crow.
I’m really interested in writing love songs that are gritty and unromantic. I wanted to make a song about the ebb and flow of a longtime love story. I thought it might feel untradition...
