Conditional Love
[Verse 1]
The coffee shop we met at got priced out
It happened without warning
One spring day they just shut down
Berkeley shrugged and rolled its eyes
Luxury condos won the prize
That empty corner building breaks my heart on each drive by
The warehouse we threw shows at disappeared
I know its days were numbered
It only lived for a couple years
Oakland didn’t really care
One less taproom to share the air
So they scrubbed all evidence it’d ever been there
[Pre-Chorus]
How do we define the life we try to live together
When all the landmarks that we claim don’t last?
Just repeat to yourself
[Chorus]
Everything’s gonna be alright
Eventually it’s gonna be fine
Do the healing that we need to do
Plant some roots and grow
It doesn’t matter where as long as there’s a view
[Verse 2]
The girl whose shoes I grew up in is dead
In her place stands the man I hope I’ve learned to be instead
Maybe landmarks aren’t everything
Cause I still can find my way around
This place that’s changed as much as I have since
{Chorus]
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything's it’s gonna be fine
Do the healing that we need to do
Plant some roots and grow
It doesn’t matter where as long as it's with you
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be, it's gotta be, it's gotta be, it's gotta be
[Verse 3]
Maybe it’s nothing, maybe it’s just growing up
Maybe it’s learning, maybe it’s feeling unconditional love
Everything’s changing and my arms are open wide
To fight for a future we wanna see with you right by my side
[Chorus]
Everything’s gonna be alright
I don’t know when, but it will
Everything’s gonna be alright
All you gotta do is
All you gotta do is
The only condition is survive
[Verse 4]
I know we all have to grow up someday and
I know you’re gonna find the love you want because
We’ve outlasted plenty of structures, plenty of venues and more
And I know, it’s not the end for you it’s just a rough patch
Some bad years to get through and one day
We can look back on this together and laugh
One day, it’s all going to be fine
One day, this pain will just be memory cause
I know everything's gonna be alright
