From the recording True Optimism
Sometimes you need to give love unconditionally, without expecting it to come back straight away. Even when friends go their separate ways, keep reaching out to them to show you care - their love will come back around.
Lyrics
I used to think love was a game of give and take
That got stronger with every transaction
But lately I feel like the love that I give won’t come back around
It’s breaking the laws of attraction
Well life is made up of so many roads and lines
Intersecting with each other,
weaving melodies and rhymes
‘till it takes you by surprise
CHORUS:
The garden keeps on growing
Roots and branches showing
Even when you think it won’t survive
Even when you’re on the great divide
I’ll adjust my expectations
As you reach your destination
I know my invitation will arrive
until then, I’ll keep our love alive
Between you and I,
We’ve come so far but lately you’ve been withdrawn
It’s a feeling that I recognise
You’re caught in the whirlwind
And I’m not the one who can bring you back down,
But I won’t complain or criticise
And as you pull yourself up by your own command
I’ll be cheering from the sidelines,
just in case you need a hand
You know I understand
CHORUS
