You crossed this line
Do you find it hard to sit with me tonight?
I've walked these miles but I've walked them straight-lined
You'll never know what was like to be ... fine
This is a song for the betrayed, a song full of longing for the "old ideas" of loyalty, fidelity, romance. These lines particularly resonate with me, holding out the possibility of forgiveness as they do, but turning a bit rueful anyway:
Don't you know that it's only fear?
I wouldn't worry, you have all your life
I've heard it takes some time to get it right
Some people never get it right—a heartbreaking idea, and a heartbreaking performance by Hannah Reid.
