Sweet Distractions

You can save the requiem for all the things we know won't last
You can spend too much time in one life wrestling with the past
It's always had a strange pull on me, now opportunity's calling
I can't just pretend I don't hear it ringing in my ear

My love, you should know
This love can overflow
And spill through unopened doors
Takes time to know what for

I come outta my head sidesteppin your sweet distractions
When every thought in my head's tryna forecast your reaction
Keeps me from making up my mind
I try to think what it'd be like if I don't ever run away
You know I need a change

My love, you should know
This love can overflow
And spill through unopened doors
Takes time to know what for

We sat out drinking on the porch when the weather was getting hotter
I lit one up and and told everybody "you gotta drink more water!"
Wondered which song I could play for you
Something real or something new
Or just the same one we've been singing all along

Your love's the only love I've ever known
It's safe, surrounding, pulling me back home

My love, you should know
This love can overflow
And spill through unopened doors
In time you'll know what it's all for
