Bound by Love

I was born in the 70’s
I caught the end of the dreamer’s days
I’ve got all of these memories
But it feels like yesterday
I see it in photographs
A slideshow on the walls of my brain
I am grateful for the life I’ve have
Whatever time still remains

I was a kid in the 80’s
I wore a red thriller jacket to school
I had a silver boombox
Corduroy pants and cassettes were cool
Licensed to Ill blew my mind
My dad let me listen to it in his truck
I bought the Joshua Tree and Mother’s Milk
With birthday money that my grandma sent

I am bound by love
Don’t want it any other way
Baby, I can’t get enough
I don’t know any different

I was a punk teen in the 90’s
In a band called Adam’s Eve
Ripped jeans and a ring in my nose
I smoked hash and drank mushroom tea
We used to play the Apothecary
Charlottetown on a Monday night
With permission from the liquor commission
Tuesday morning barely cracked my eyes

I am bound by love
Don’t want it any other way
Baby, I can’t get enough
I don’t know any different

I finished school and I moved away
I was in a different band
We took our name from a Shakespeare play
It feel apart in the end
I stuck around for a few more years
Dragging myself from job to job
Ran out of money and I had to leave
Hit the coast and I met a girl

Now I’m bound by love
Wouldn’t want it any other way
Baby, I can’t get enough
I don’t know any different

I don’t know any different x 4

I have dreams in a different light
I’m not looking for the cheaper thrills
I see the future through my daughter’s eyes
And it gives me chills
And I’ll do anything for love
But not like that stupid Meatloaf song
Real love that keeps on humming
And never stops even after you’re gone

I am bound by love
Don’t want it any other way
Baby, I can’t get enough
I don’t know any different

I know happiness is fleeting
I know we all have Haunted Hearts
But I see it and I hear it
Graceland in my mother’s car
Driving around, tapping her thumbs
Keeping the beat on the steering wheel
I know who I am and I know it’s because
Things like this don’t disappear
