about

This song is a time-capsule, dedicated to my wife, Rebecca. I wrote it a couple months after our wedding in 2011.

lyrics

I wish I could say the nightmares have gone away,
that when our heads rest in one bed
I soundly sleep and gently wake.
I wish you could quell the terrors that shake my faith,
but with you here, there's more to fear;
when I'm alone there's less at stake.

Now I see, the rift between
what I want and what I need
might never cease expanding.
So if you'll help me pack my things,
we'll venture through this valley
and ford the rivers winding.

I wish I could match your feelings with sympathy.
You've tried explaining what's to gain
by spending your time crying.
I wish I could understand, but it's beyond me.
Though my heart's cold through, I will hold you;
you can have my body heat.

Now I see, the rift between
what I want and what I need
might never cease expanding.
But I will help you pack your things,
we'll venture through this valley
and ford the rivers winding.

I wish we could say the sex has come easily,
that we've been Venus and Adonis,
basking in our ecstasy.
I wish we could say we've earned the looks and the winks
to the extent that they were meant.
We're not there, but we're trying.

Now I see, the rift between
what I want and what I need
might never cease expanding.
So let's sit down and pack our things,
we'll venture through this valley
and ford the rivers winding.
