I know a love that keeps me calm in the storm
And keeps the blood inside of me warm
Wherever I go it never leaves
Like a suitcase of memories

I know a love that's stronger than I am
It beats me up, and keeps me trying
And when I can't, it fights for me
From boy to man, and the in-between
I remember backpacking by the water
Lake days, I'd see the bottom
Free-falling to words from the 90's over fire pits
Through scattered words and my mistakes
I hope you heard what I meant to say

There will be times when it rains on you
I'll be the life raft you can hold on to
And on the day when I turn to dust
I hope you know just how much I love you

I know a love that looks me right in the eyes
Helps me see beyond boundaries and lines
Unveils a better side of me
Sometimes it's all I need

I remember backpacking by the water
Lake days, I'd see the bottom
Free-falling to words from the 90's over fire pits
Through scattered words and my mistakes
I hope you heard what I meant to say

There will be times when it rains on you
I'll be the life raft you can hold on to
And on the day when I turn to dust
I hope you know just how much I love you

This love I've found, life's greatest lesson
And in my wake, I hope it leaves an impression
What has been paves the road for what's to be
With every step I take, I'll let it lead

I remember backpacking by the water
Lake days, I'd see the bottom
Free-falling to words from the 90's over fire pits
Through scattered words and my mistakes
I hope you heard what I meant to say

There will be times when it rains on you
I'll be the life raft you can hold on to
And on the day when I turn to dust
I hope you know just how much I love you
