Yesterday I spent the afternoon alone in a coffee shop working on wedding pictures, people watching and having two cups of green tea at the same time-one hot one icy. My Pandora station was Bon Iver, and suddenly a song filled my ears and my eyes at the same time. This is what I saw when I heard this song, so we made it today. It stars Boo, but I think it's about my love story. (Plus the lead singer has a beard, which just about makes him perfect in my music book.)
Here are the lyrics to Welcome Home by Radical Face
And the days blur into one
And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done
Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass
Was never much but we made the most
Welcome home
Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names but most do not
If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lost
Heal the scars from off my back
I don't need them anymore
You can throw them out or keep them in your mason jars
I've come home
All my nightmares escaped my head
Bar the door, please don't let them in
You were never supposed to leave
Now my head's splitting at the seams
And I don't know if I can
Here, beneath my lungs, I feel your thumbs press into my skin again
