Always in All Ways

She can't believe the peace could be so sudden and so strong
Two scattered lives raked up and stuffed into a carry-on
I said I'd stay at least if I could not be strong

Oh God, we needed what we sold

We lifted off into the creepy, star-pricked, blackened sky
She couldn't bring herself to read it, till the ink was dry
She hid her face so no one there would see her cry

Oh God, we needed what we sold

So many times she cried
"I'm gonna lose my mind"
As many times I meant it
I told she could have mine

Oh, baby promise me again we will survive

Always in all ways
Always in all ways

I let her drift up in the soporific airplane hum
A brittle anti-hero left to juggle what may come
A runner's born to cut, a cutter's born to run

Oh, babe we needed what we sold

So many times she cried
"I'm gonna lose my mind"
As many times I meant it
I told she could have mine

Oh, baby promise me again we will survive

Always in all ways
Always in all ways

And when I whispered in her ear, I'd never go
She faked liked she was sleeping
I saw her eyes blink in the window

Oh, baby promise me again we will survive

Always in all ways
Always in all ways

(Always in all ways)
(Always in all ways)
