An "alt-country" love song to my wife.

Lyrics

Never, Ever, Love

You know I love you
You love me
There is no doubt
About that, but
Why then do we just keeps going round and round the same old tropes
Again
And again?

I want one thing and you, you want the next
I choose the open road, and you a white picket fence

We’re impossible together
Though we both want it so much
There is no doubt
We’re opposites
And opposites attract

I’m bohemian
By your admission
You’re pretty, petty bourgeois

You’re so useless
I’m obnoxious
I love you just for who you are

We can argue about the hows, whys, whens
ifs and…
But…
In the end
It will never never, ever, be love that finishes us


I know you love me
I love you
That’s all there is
That’s true

But why then are we both so unhappy and blue
All most of the time?

You don’t want what’s mine, and I don’t want what’s yours
You choose the fireplace, and I the open door

We’re impossible together
Though we both want it so much
There is no do doubt
We’re opposites
And opposites attract

You’re amazing
By my own reckoning
I’m pretty bl**dy pompous

I’m so clueless
You are flawless
You love me just the way I am

We can argue about the hows, whys, whens
ifs and…
But…
In the end
It will never, ever, be love that finishes us

We’re together
By our own ledger
It’s a pretty minor miracle

Always fighting
Still excited
To see each other nonetheless
We can argue about the hows, whys, whens
ifs and…
But…
In the end
It will never, ever be, love that finishes us
