about

For my Valentine, Lexy Elena.

lyrics

every path
can hit a cul-de-sac
that's the chance you take

getting past
the need for looking back
at every choice you make

love can be a bitter sweetened pill to swallow whole
and more than half the time you'll likely choke
but just about when I'd conceded
hit the wall and been defeated
you were just what I needed
my elena

there were times
behind venetian blinds
that broken hearts go through

i woke to find
you on the other side
so let's see how we do

love can be a bitter sweetened pill to swallow whole
and more than half the time you'll likely choke
but just about when I'd conceded
hit the wall and been defeated
you were just what I needed
my elena

and no matter how it goes
in this dog and pony show
i just wanted you to know you're lovely
my elena girl

love can be a bitter sweetened pill to swallow whole
and more than half the time you'll likely choke
but just about when I'd conceded
hit the wall and been defeated
you were just what I needed
my elena
you were just what I needed
my elena
you were just what I needed
my elena
