I know a love that keeps me calm in the storm And keeps the blood inside of me warm Wherever I go it never leaves Like a suitcase of memories I know a love that's stronger than I am It beats me up, and keeps me trying And when I can't, it fights for me From boy to man, and the in-between I remember backpacking by the water Lake days, I could see the bottom Free-falling to words from the 90's over fire pits Through scattered words and my mistakes I hope you heard what I meant to say There will be times when it rains on you I'll be the life raft you can hold on to And on the day when I turn to dust I hope you know just how much I love you I know a love that looks me right in the eyes Helps me see beyond boundaries and lines Unveils a better side of me Sometimes it's all I need I remember backpacking by the water Lake days, I could see the bottom Free-falling to words from the 90's over fire pits Through scattered words and my mistakes I hope you heard what I meant to say There will be times when it rains on you I'll be the life raft you can hold on to And on the day when I turn to dust I hope you know just how much I love you This love I've found, life's greatest lesson And in my wake, I hope it leaves an impression What has been paves the road for what's to be With every step I take, I'll let it lead I remember backpacking by the water Lake days, I could see the bottom Free-falling to words from the 90's over fire pits Through scattered words and my mistakes I hope you heard what I meant to say There will be times when it rains on you I'll be the life raft you can hold on to And on the day when I turn to dust I hope you know just how much I love you
