so do y'all know the song "promising light" by iron & wine? cause i really can't stop listening. it makes me cry so hard. i hear it at night in the dark and i cry and i hear it in full sunlight riding my bike along the lake in the afternoon and i cry and sometimes it feels like it'll never stop.

it goes like this:

time & all you gave
i was the jerk who preferred the sea
to tussling in the waves
tugging your skirt, singing please, please, please

but now i see love
tracked on the floor where you walked outside
now i see love
looking for you in this other girl's eyes

time & all you took
only my freedom to fuck the whole world
promising not to look
promising light on the sidewalk girls

but now i see love
there in your car where i said those things
now i see love
tugging your skirt, singing please, please, please

time & all you gave
there on your cross that i never saw
well beyond the waves
dunking my head when i heard you call

but now i see love
there in the scab where you pinched my leg
now i see love
there on your side of my empty bed
