about

Written for Sam and Tessa Hayashida, for their wedding

lyrics

Do you remember when you told me that our friendship was through
And then I haggled just a little bit till you reformed your views?
I’m not proud of that and I’ll confess this much is true
If I have any friends from college left it’s all thanks to you

And your patience with all of my quirks
Is not wasted, it waters the earth

Do you remember when you held me in all of my fears
While I projected them on the hands holding me near
It’s not to hard to have patience when every tear
Is like a thunderstorm calming us and drawing us near

And your patience with all of my quirks
Is not wasted, it waters the earth

Cause every single seed to have a hold first needs to die
But they grow into trees to have and hold all of our lives
And now we’ll never need to love alone
Always your hands are with mine
Holding the pain, and beauty in our eyes

Ain’t it funny and beautiful that though I didn’t want to call
And after years that you were always here I wrote you that poem
It’s silly and really I love that you didn’t know
That you were into me, socrates hadn’t quite found his home

And your patience with all of my quirks
Is not wasted, it waters the earth

Cause every single seed to have a hold first needs to die
But they grow into trees to have and hold all of our lives
And now we’ll never need to love alone
Always your hands are with mine
Holding the pain, and beauty in our eyes
Beauty in our eyes
Beauty in our eyes
Beauty in our eyes

Always your hands are with mine
Holding the pain, all the purples and the grays
The sunsets and graves
We’re holding the pain, and beauty in our eyes
Beauty in our eyes
Beauty in our eyes
Beauty in our eyes
