Chapters of My Love Life (skit)
My love life has been a roller coaster, man
And this record holds a few of those stories
Chapters from my love life
People are settling down all around me
For ten years, I've been holding on for that one special person
Everyone says is impossible to find
I've searched for love all over the world
From Slovakia to Sweden; New York to the Netherlands to Vancouver, the city I call home
I'm sure like many of you, I'vе had experiencеs where I felt everything was right
But the circumstances were impossible
Or, I was super into somebody who wasn't interested in me
I find myself at a crossroads right now
With two birdies on either shoulder
One wants a life partner and to build a family
And the other, the wayward bird, puts all sorts of fucked up ideas in my head
But I imagine the shit he spews will eventually get old
It's a beautiful thing when somebody knows you to your core
When you've experienced so much together that you have a bond no one else could possibly understand
But you have to dive in headfirst and commit to letting that fine wine age before you cork it in a moment of desire
And right now, I'm asking myself:
"Am I ready?"
