Compromise
He said he loved me just this morning,
He said it twice
Once while I was walking out the door
and then before
when looking in my eyes
I'm thinking like a junkie,
wanna be the first to sense if things are going south
Need a supply he doesn't know about
Hmmmm
There is a river where I grew up
Deep and wide
It used to be the world to me
And I still see
It flowing through a child's eyes
And even though he listens
When I tell him all my stories started on those banks
To him it's just another place
Hmmmm
He used to see somebody in me
Does he still?
The one who walked the riverside
With searching eyes
A hunger for the world to fill
I wonder if I've lost that strength
In learning how to lean on someone else sometimes
A casualty of compromise
Hmmmm
He said it twice
Once while I was walking out the door
and then before
when looking in my eyes
I'm thinking like a junkie,
wanna be the first to sense if things are going south
Need a supply he doesn't know about
Hmmmm
There is a river where I grew up
Deep and wide
It used to be the world to me
And I still see
It flowing through a child's eyes
And even though he listens
When I tell him all my stories started on those banks
To him it's just another place
Hmmmm
He used to see somebody in me
Does he still?
The one who walked the riverside
With searching eyes
A hunger for the world to fill
I wonder if I've lost that strength
In learning how to lean on someone else sometimes
A casualty of compromise
Hmmmm
