Isthmus II

Ooh, high school sweetheart, congratulations on the baby
No, it never really rains in LA too
Yeah, I'm doing well, you know, ups and downs
I'm on my back in waves of doubt
And strangers tell me that I've saved them
For a lifetime or a season
And it never feels real
Till they're shaking while I hold them tight

But you found the man, and everything is good
He can float just like I could
We're anchored to the shore, through wind and summer storm
Well you're better now I'm gone

Honey, around the edges, I just keep on coming back
There's a sweetness to it now, now that all the time has passed
And you're happy with a family that you never got to have
I woulda never gave you that

So I'll chase the hurt, swim against the tide
But you found the beauty in a quiet life
