-- Lyrics --

He's the kind of guy who always keeps a safe in case shit drops right in his face and he knows how it feels. Now, tell me. Do these things ever get easier to deal with? You can see it in his eyes and hear it when he speaks. Questioning the world. The way he doesn't know what's coming up. When in fact, nobody does, it's just that some of us are better at faking it.

And he knows how to love
He knows it by heart
How is it that it's so hard for most of us to open up

He's giving everything he got, he's always there on the other end of the line, he's the good friend to lean on and he needs it back. How can you equally give back to someone who's giving so much. And it's amazing how in a world like this you can hate your brother for that one time he tripped on that exception you won't forgive. And the only way you'll grow is by forgiving.

And he knows how to love
He knows it by heart
How is it that it's so hard for most of us to open up

Drum machines stutter under blooms of synths; curses float below swirls of loving sound. ... more
