It’s a lot to do,
but it’s a lot more
to ignore.
Every single day
reveals another angle through.
There’s no rain coming
that’s gonna wash
the dirt off my hands.
It’s six more months of snow
and mud when the Sun shines again.
I hope you know
that I love you more
than I did then.
We hit the Earth pretty hard,
like gravity
is our attraction to our sin.
Wake up early
and try to get ahead
of all of this.
Day in,
day out.
I’m just happy to exist.
Can’t think of anyone
I’d rather have to do
all of this with.
Even if sometimes
I just can’t get over it.
Put my hands out.
I know you’re with me.
I’m full of doubts.
You think they’re silly.
I can’t get this done
without you with me.
You make it fun,
us just existing.
And when I get tired
I know you’re gonna
let me down slow.
You’ll start a fire
to give us light
and fight off this Alberta cold.
When I wake up
you’ll be right there
next to me.
As I get ready
to leave for work
I watch you sleeping.
Back out into
that dark Alberta cold.
I know you’re gonna be here
when I get home.
