about

Name in the title… about the fact that distracting thoughts and chores can make it hard to believe that love is still there but we’re if you’re headed in that direction it will endure.

lyrics

it will never be the way we want it
in the face of an argument
your words just act as a death mask
just flowers on a monument
we all fall into it

making my way to the one true love
don't you stop me
don't you stop me
I pray to you like you're god above
don't you stop me
don't you stop me
I'm making my way to the one true love
to remind her of
how much I love here
and how much I can love
I'll be your shelter
when I get better

making my way out over the coals
and on to the shore to warn them all
that love is a fragile thing
oh love is a fragile thing
I'm waving at ships to avoid this port
and waving my flags as a last resort
for love is a fragile thing
oh love is a fragile thing

it will never be the way you want it
it's possible to concede
your words just act as a crash mat
when you fall head over feet
but we all fall into it


making my way to the one true love
don't you stop me
don't you stop me
It's not what I've been dreaming of
but don't you stop me
don't you stop me
I'm making my way to the one true love
to remind her of
all that's left here
and how much I have lost
I'll be your shelter
when I get better

making my way out over the coals
and on to the shore to warn them all
that love is a fragile thing
oh love is a fragile thing
I'm waving at ships to avoid this port
and waving my flags as a last resort
for love is a fragile thing
