Persistent

We both dreamed a white fence

Would wrap our front yard

How my arms have held you all these years

Now I wake in the morning

And roll to find you

Damn you, sunshine and the shadows you make

R: If you don’t love me anymore

If you don’t love, you don’t love me anymore

I’m gonna go out knowing I tried. Persistent

If you don’t want me anymore

If you don’t want, you don’t want me anymore

Persistent so I know I tried

I did my best now I must survive and keep

Pushing on

I had a daughter as tall as I am

In my sleep I see the craziest things

Over her shoulder I saw you smiling

Now I don’t want to wake up and it fades

R:

When I’d swim in the ocean

I’d miss your skin

So fair the summer would burn it

When I’d hike up a mountain

I’d miss your smile

You’d love the view from the top of it

I would be reminded every day

I would be reminded every day of my shame

R: (2x)
