Cure-Alls in a CVS

Love’s more sacred than a cure-all

I wanted to tell you that

I wanted to tell you all that

But you might not have listened

I know you’d take it the wrong way

You don’t write songs for your one-day fixes

You say to someone,

If we spend time together

It won’t fix anything

But it will make it more

Apparent

Translucent

Core

Love’s more like a Big Question

You ask on a preacher’s pulp

It

Love’s more like something you believe in

The others will say they think you’re young

And insane

Love’s something you commit to

When you’re screaming in a field

When you’re out on your own

When you know

The unmeasured paths in your dailybreath

And they won’t listen and they won’t listen

And you believe that someday

They will
