I guess, in the perfect relationship, such a day would be every day.
But that's not how it goes.
Most relationships aren't perfect. Most are fractured and complicated. So many fall apart under the weight of personalities and realities and the heavy, constant weight of expectation. The best, I think, rise above and heal the harm, like skin over scars. I think that's what this song is about. About trying through the hardest times to stay optimistic, to be hopeful, to believe. About counting down the days til the open wounds are closed.
Show me Dallas Green songs and I will show you how to wear your heart on your sleeve. His voice on this track is nothing short of stunning - an incredible, inspired performance - and his playing, solo acoustic spotlit like the rest of this brilliant little record, are captivating in a deep and feeling kind of way, one just right for lonely mornings and even better for the solitude of a cold, dark night.
Passing by with every exit sign
It's been so long
Sometimes I wonder how I will stay strong
No sleep tonight
I'll keep on driving these dark highway lines
And as the moon fades
One more night gone, only twenty more days
But I will see you again
I will see you again a long time from now
And there goes my life
Passing by with every departing flight
And its been so hard
So much time so far apart
And she walks the night
How many hearts will die tonight
And will things have changed?
I guess I'll find out in seventeen days.
But I will see you again
I will see you again a long time from now
My body aches,
and it hurts to sing,
and no one is moving
And I wish that I weren't here tonight,
but this is my life.
And I will see you again
I will see you again a long time from now
And I will see you again
I will see you again a long time from now."
