about

This one is deeply from the heart. There are a million and one love songs. Most of them are about romantic love "Sea of Love - P. Phillips" "Faded Love - R. Wills," with a few outliers about friendship "Lean on Me - B. Withers," familial love "Because You Loved Me - D.Warren," or the love of nature, animals, or material objects "Stuff that Works ; G.Clark." These iterations of love are just a very small sliver of the great spectrum of love. It is infinite, endless, and deserving of every song in it's name.

Add this one to the pile.

lyrics

i fell in love with a girl who liked girls
in missoula ten years ago
pretty sunset in a walmart lot
sleeping head to toe in the back of your car

canned soup, cold baguette
no one was coming to our shows just yet
i love you now, i loved you then.

i miss the fire in your highway eyes
i'd break the tempo and you'd pick a fight
thrift store boots, pearl snap shirt
you'd call me out when i was trying too hard

green room beer, cheap cigarettes
print our own albums with some credit card debt
i love you now, i loved you then.

you found your princess charming,
i found mine
we parted ways on the texas line
i'm choking on diesel, you're settling down
i'll be broke by monday, who's the smart one now?

quik stop pizza, prince on cassette
no one was coming to our shows just yet
graham and emmylou, sad duets
when the lights come up it's just my silhouette
i love you now, i loved you then
