"Devastating" lyrics
"Devastating"
All the colors fading
How did we get here loving lazy?
We've seen it before, know how it happens
Tired and bored, wanting some action
And it slips away
I want magic
You know it's good when the ending's tragic
Weathered and true and good to the vows
We said in our youth now age they allowed
Buried in our veins
I lose you or you lose me
Either way it won't be cheap
I wanna love you 'til it's devastating
Until the dirt cries and my grave is waiting
Is it even worth it if there ain't heartbreak waiting?
I wanna love you 'til it's devastating
Now would you hold me
With all the weight of what we could be?
Seen it before, know it can happen
Lifetime of joy, farewells and sadness
Now, baby, that's romantic
'Cause I lose you or you lose me
Either way it won't be cheap
I wanna love you 'til it's devastating
Until the dirt cries and my grave is waiting
Is it even worth it if there ain't heartbreak waiting?
I wanna love you 'til it's devastating
'Til it's devastating
Ring on my finger, tag on my toe
That means we made it
Generations aft and fore sing amen, amen
Ring on my finger, tag on my toe
That means we made it
Generations aft and fore sing amen, amen
Sing amen, amen
Amen, amen
Amen, amen
Amen, amen
'Cause I lose you or you lose me
Either way it won't be cheap
I wanna love you 'til it's devastating
Until the dirt cries and my grave is waiting
Is it even worth it if there ain't heartbreak waiting?
I wanna love you 'til it's devastating
'Til it's devastating, yeah (Amen, amen)
Ring on my finger, tag on my toe
That means we made it
Generations aft and fore sing amen, amen
Ring on my finger, tag on my toe
That means we made it
Generations aft and fore, amen, amen
This is gonna help somebody (Amen, amen)
Ring on my finger, tag on my toe
(Amen, amen)
Ring on my finger, tag on my toe (Amen, amen)
That means we made it
That means we made it
That means we made it
That means we made it
Amen, amen
Amen, amen

JOHNNYSWIM explained in the description of the
music video for "Devastating",
"As a married duo it's easy to write songs about the pleasures of love and romance, but in 'Devastating' we explore the depth of love that at its best, isn't just sweet, but, if all goes right, will be touched by some level of tragedy and hardship. This 'ring on my finger and a tag on my toe' kind of love is the soul of this album and song. Love can be pretty, but you're lucky, it's devastating too."

Birdtalker - "Heavy" If you're lost and you're lonely
Go and figure out why
Take a trip to your darkside
Go on and have a good cry
'Cause we're all lonely
Yeah we're all lonely together
I want to see your sadness
I want...
Wilder Woods - "Sure Ain't" I know that you aren't asking
But I thought I'd let you know
If you're wondering what might happen
If the space between us closed
If you're thinking you might kiss me
Oh, I would not be opposed
It...
Ray LaMontagne - "Hold You In My Arms" When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see you'd been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe reigns
But who really profits from the dying
I could hold you...
Matt Nathanson - "Used To Be" Still got the same old number
Still drive the car you hate
Still fighting with my father
Still staying out too late
Still leave the backdoor open
Still let the dog escape
Maybe I'm deep down hoping...
Joy Oladokun - "Shelter" I'm not asking you to run ahead
But could you try to take a single step
How can we move forward
When you're halfway out the door
So you've made mistakes, you have regrets
I don't need you to be...
