"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."
