about
Inspired by the writings of David Whyte.
lyrics
Well the earth is flat and grass don’t grow
The Northeastern winters hardly ever snow
There’s no price to love and there never was
And nobody’s gonna get hurt
The kids don’t need a thing and they always do the dishes
The laundry does itself and we are granted all our wishes
If it’s meant to be, it’s easy
And nobody’s gonna get hurt
The highway wasn’t made for leaving
Whiskey wasn’t made for regret
The smoke in my lungs makes it easier to breathe
And broken hearts will always mend
I will always feel this way, I will never leave your side
I won’t lose myself to fear or lose you to my pride
I will speak less often but I will speak the truth
And nobody’s gonna get hurt
The highway wasn’t made for leaving
Whiskey wasn’t made for regret
The smoke in my lungs makes it easier to breathe
And broken hearts will always mend
Nobody, nobody, nobody’s gonna get hurt
Nobody, nobody, nobody’s gonna get hurt
Lovers don’t lie, time is merciful
We are always gonna stay young and beautiful
And I will shoulder all the blame if we can’t make this work
So nobody’s gonna get hurt
Nobody’s gonna get hurt
The highway wasn’t made for leaving
Whiskey wasn’t made for regret
The smoke in my lungs makes it easier to breathe
And if you love someone enough it never ends
Nobody, nobody, nobody’s gonna get hurt
Nobody, nobody, nobody’s gonna get hurt

Musical maturity doesn't have to mean stodgy rehashed tunes. Nickel Creek gets ever more innovative with time. Pay attention, kids! This is how you do it right. twighlightprowler

It takes a Glen Phillips penned Toad backed tune to so enigmatically describe every other breakup you've had.
This just never gets old.
