The Only Exception - Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO, 8/12/2014

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darlin',
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I was content
With loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk, but

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I cant
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know your leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some proof its not a dream
Oh-

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing it

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing it
