Joshua went to confession today
On the way home, we drove by the place
We used to play songs on the accordion
Back when our love was so very young

And all water is classic water
All lovers collapse on each other
But you were more like a father
Than any man I’ve been under

So I pray for you
Though I don’t know what your face looks like nowadays
But given the emptiness, I could guess
Mystery books, picture shows, all my best

Do you want me to hurt like you do?

We live alone now
But you turned my house to a home now
In flat gray towns on the interstate
How such pure love turns to hate

Cause each day I only ran further
I know that I was a grown woman
Flirting with the idea of never learning

But I pray for you
Mumbling on the front porch again
You my friend, nowhere to go but down
But I was so used to having you around
You know I wanted this life with you

Now we are learning every day
How to be selfless and free

We are learning every day
How to be selfless and free

I am learning how every day
How to be alone with me
Alone with me

We are learning every day
How to be selfless and free

Selfless and free
