Isthmus II - Thomston

Ooh, high school sweetheart, congratulations on the baby

No, it never really rains in LA too

Yeah, I’m doing well, you know, ups and downs

I’m on my back in waves of doubt

And strangers tell me that I’ve saved them

For a lifetime or a season

And it never feels real

Till they’re shaking while I hold them tight

But you found the man, and everything is good

He can float just like I could

We’re anchored to the shore, through wind and summer storm

Well you’re better now I’m gone

Honey, around the edges, I just keep on coming back

There’s a sweetness to it now, now that all the time has passed

And you’re happy with a family that you never got to have

I woulda never gave you that

So I’ll chase the hurt, swim against the tide

But you found the beauty in a quiet life
