๐ Lyrics
Do you remember when we first met?
We were taking turns singing songs about grandmothers
I believed in the beauty of the unexpected connection
And drew in all of the good that I had been expecting
Do the work to keep yourself open to other people's magic
You devoured me whole like a ravenous animal
Every single thing you said was the best I'd ever heard
Couldn't keep a job, you were dreaming yourself down and out, but
It only takes one fierce love to raise you up from the ground
But I stopped callin' my momma, I tried to adopt yours
Tried to forget where I came from, and the hurt that I had caused
Thank God for the seers, who can perceive where we are heading
With patience for the long road we've been walking on
It takes a real big heart to hold that line
But don't think, don't be alarmed
This was always gonna break your hard heart
We had so many false starts
We set so many false alarms, false alarms
But there's a new vibration on my tongue tonight
I see it getting older, I feel it coming right
You walk out the door into the street, I see you lookin' around for me
We are made of possibility
But don't think, don't be alarmed
This was always gonna break your hard heart
We had so many false starts
We set so many false alarms, false alarms
Don't let your mind get stuck in that game
In the times when it goes the wrong way
We will get hurt and we will make mistakes
There will not always be the right words to say, but
You are built upon generations of love
When you forget where you are headed
Know that that's what you are made of
We are built upon generations of love
It is the pleasure that I want for you
And you will know the depths of our love
With every single day I show up
A song of worship on my tongue
Don't think, don't be alarmed
This was always gonna break your hard heart
We had so many false starts
We set so many false alarms, false alarms
Don't think, don't be alarmed
This was always gonna break your hard heart
We had so many false starts
We set so many false alarms, false alarms
We were taking turns singing songs about grandmothers
I believed in the beauty of the unexpected connection
And drew in all of the good that I had been expecting
Do the work to keep yourself open to other people's magic
You devoured me whole like a ravenous animal
Every single thing you said was the best I'd ever heard
Couldn't keep a job, you were dreaming yourself down and out, but
It only takes one fierce love to raise you up from the ground
But I stopped callin' my momma, I tried to adopt yours
Tried to forget where I came from, and the hurt that I had caused
Thank God for the seers, who can perceive where we are heading
With patience for the long road we've been walking on
It takes a real big heart to hold that line
But don't think, don't be alarmed
This was always gonna break your hard heart
We had so many false starts
We set so many false alarms, false alarms
But there's a new vibration on my tongue tonight
I see it getting older, I feel it coming right
You walk out the door into the street, I see you lookin' around for me
We are made of possibility
But don't think, don't be alarmed
This was always gonna break your hard heart
We had so many false starts
We set so many false alarms, false alarms
Don't let your mind get stuck in that game
In the times when it goes the wrong way
We will get hurt and we will make mistakes
There will not always be the right words to say, but
You are built upon generations of love
When you forget where you are headed
Know that that's what you are made of
We are built upon generations of love
It is the pleasure that I want for you
And you will know the depths of our love
With every single day I show up
A song of worship on my tongue
Don't think, don't be alarmed
This was always gonna break your hard heart
We had so many false starts
We set so many false alarms, false alarms
Don't think, don't be alarmed
This was always gonna break your hard heart
We had so many false starts
We set so many false alarms, false alarms
