Still sounds a rough to me, but I am tired of recording it. At some point I have to stop doing takes.
Every Quadrant of your Heart 2/11
A E
We give ourselves such a wide, wide birth
D A
It’s hard to come close without getting hurt
A E
I wonder when this space had time to form
D A
With our bodies touching all the way until morning
E
But morning comes
A
The bubble breaks
E A
The space between us like a lake
E
Cold water threatening
A
We get scared
Dm
get dressed and turn away
A
I find the breath to say
Dm (Back to open A)
Hey you, have a great day
I never really trusted you
Your smile is too perfect, your eyes are too blue
But there were moments that I least expected
That your warmth broke through before I could reject it
Like the time
You brought me tea
That I didn’t know I needed
I drank it down and dropped my guard
Dm (open A)
Now I find you in every quadrant of my heart
Bridge
Dm A
We are war torn by love
Dm A
But we won’t let ourselves give up
Dm A Dm. A
Our battle scars stay hidden until we try again
Dm A
The then trauma reappears
Dm A
You can take mine, my dear
Dm E
Maybe we’ll find a way out of here
Welcome to my apothecary
Leave your shoes by the door
I hope you are planning to stay a while
And that your brain feels a little less sore
And this time
I’ll bring you tea
The you didn’t know you needed
You’ll drink it down and drop your guard
And you may find me
In every quadrant of your heart

Lots of complexity here in this relationship. My favorite sequence of lines are: "Your smile is too perfect, your eyes are too blue
But there were moments that I least expected
That your warmth broke through before I could reject it" The song also has a great title.

I love most when you share these vulnerable moments and let your guard down. You're such a badass but songs like these, where you are so open, are your true strenghth. I am totally bowled over by this one.

chilling relationship described here. the music really matches the tone of the lyric and story. paints a complicated story of love, yet also uncomforable-ness along with it.

Love that you added that change of perspective in the lyrics in the chorus, it really adds to the song!! I'm gonna go make some tea now
