Dear True Love, Land or Sea is a Learning Curve

More Sleeping at Last :) I know I say it.. but I do love them. February EP Lyrics below:

Dear True Love
Dear true love
I'm a writer without any words
I'm a story that nobody heard
When I'm without you

I am a voice
I am a voice without any sound
I'm a treasure map that nobody found
When I'm without you

Dear true love
I'm a lantern without any light
I'm a boxer much too afraid to fight
When I'm without you

So with this ring
May you always know one thing
What little that I have to give
I will give it all to you
You're my one true love

I am a memory
I'm a memory bent out of shape
A childhood already bruised with age
When I'm without you

Dear true love
I'm an artist without any paint
I'm the deal that everyone breaks
When I'm without you

I am a whisper
I'm a secret that nobody keeps
I'm a dreamer of someone else's dreams
When I'm without you

Dear true love
I'm a farewell that came all too soon
I'm a hand-me-down that dreams of being new
When I'm without you


Land or Sea
One day we'll wake up and realize
To make any difference one must simply try
Try to use words less than our hands
For change is a direct result of our plans

We've got no stakes in the ground
We've got no anchors tied down
Land or sea, there are no guarantees here, we know
There is nothing but our fears of being free
\
It feels deeper than any ocean floor
Our lungs no longer believe in any shore

So let's dry out our clothes and catch our breath
Our process implies our progress

We've got no stakes in the ground
We've got no anchors tied down
Land or sea, there are no guarantees here, God knows
There is nothing but our fears of being free

Finally, there's a mountain beneath us
But up here our lungs fight against us
Land or sea, there are no guarantees here
God knows there is nothing but our fears


Learning Curve
I had a good dream
We built a home
It was far from perfect
But we made it our own

We lived a good life
We gave and we borrowed
It was far from perfect
But we made it our own

When everything around us changed, we felt okay
No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of shape

When we took one step forward, and five steps behind
We were still more than able to walk a straight line

We had a white picket fence in the front yard
Where our grass was plenty green
Every window in our house
Welcomed in the sun's company

We had hardwood floors and unlocked doors
Our grass was plenty full
Though our bills were only barely met
Our hearts were plenty whole

When everything around us changed, we felt okay
No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of shape
When darkness was the price of light, we weren't afraid
For the time we've spent was more than worth
Any interest that we've paid

We lived a good life, a good life
When my eyes were closed
Though the question marks were all the same
And the burdens never left
We gambled everything we loved
As though there was some kind of safety net

And when my good dream
Came to an end
I woke up more than ready to bend
