I used to listen to this song riding my bike to work at 4am in the pnw 10 years ago

'Sometimes it's hard to accept,
When you lose the saddle, not the horse'

Anthony has always written fantastic material for as long as I've been listening to him (literally half of my life at this point) but every now and then he pens something so painfully tangible, so instantly relatable, that it goes through you like a truck and you have to take a moment. This is one of those lines. I almost wish that I didn't understand it on a instinctual level, because it reminds me how I'm still trying to process my story at the same time as trying to live it and move past it and be better than the only archetypes I had for being a (barely) functional human.

I guess I'm just glad that there are people out there like Anthony, willing and able to communicate their own struggles and letting anyone who needs to hear it know that it's ok not to have all the answers yet, or maybe ever.

I can't begin to wonder
What you'd think of me
If i could say exactly what i wanted

But i'll bite my tongue
'Cause i know the day will come
When you will see exactly who you are
When you will see exactly who you are
Oh

How is it that we're the same blood
Sometimes it's hard to accept
When you lose the saddle not the horse

Sometimes it's hard to live with
Resentment like this
(Sometimes it's hard to live with)
(x3)

I can't begin to ponder
How quickly you would leave
If you could know exactly what i thought

But i'll never say
Mostly 'cause i'm afraid
And maybe i don't ever want to lose you
Oh i don't ever want to lose you
Oh

How is it that we're the same blood
Sometimes it's hard to accept
When you lose the saddle not the horse

Sometimes it's hard to live with
Resentment like this
(Sometimes it's hard to live with)
(x3)

Is it possible for you to admit you need us
Is it wrong of me to want you to say you never meant to treat us that way
We can forgive you but we won't forget this happened
We can forgive you but we won't forget
Oh

It's the only way
It's the only way
It's the only way that we will be together
(x 2)
