I love metaphors because they help me get my mind around stuff that's otherwise hard to hold on to. This is a song filled with pictures all about what forgiveness FEELS like for the forgiven. Mmmm. Also, it seems like I'm trying to channel my inner Willie Nelson or Hank Williams Sr. stylistically on this one. Enjoy!
lyrics
EVERY TIME
Well I used to run around
You could say I still do I guess
But the seedier side of this run down old town
Has long been my address
Like a freshly pressed suit
Like knocking mud off of my boots
You've made Your mind
You tell me we're just fine
Oh You forgive me every time
Just when I think I have changed
When I feel I’ve learned some control
I prove to myself I’m exactly the same
As the very worst person I know
But like a shower after work
Like the medicine when it hurts
You've made Your mind
You tell me we're just fine
Oh You forgive me every time
If anyone else ever knew
All the stuff that plays out in my head
All of my friends would tell me “We’re through!”
But You just pursue me instead
But like the covers when it’s cold
Like a fresh fallen blanket of snow,
You've made Your mind
You tell me we're just fine
Oh You forgive me every time
