Love is simple when it's broken
It's the softest words ever spoken
And I said I was kidding, but I was joking
Now I'm twisted up and lost in thought
But I remember what I was thinking
All that feeling always sinking
All that waiting to take that stage
And the feeling we could let 'em wait
And hey Steven, how's Sally?
How're the peaks and how're the valleys?
And I've been down some, but I'll rally
Have you found something to sink your teeth into?
Keep it even, keep her happy
Don't be afraid to love her madly
'Cause she will steer you and keep you afloat
As you row that boat until you both let go someday
So is it simple? Being older?
We've got all these kids upon our shoulders
See, I just get softer, the world gets colder
Now I'm twisted up and lost in thought
But do you remember? The night got late
Equations were recalculating in my veins
And you saved my life in the final round
Some kind of paper-cup tea, some hell-bath festival ground
And hey Steven, how's Sally?
How're the peaks and how're the valleys?
And I've been down some, but I'll rally
Have you found something to sink your teeth into?
So keep it even, keep her happy
Don't be afraid to love her madly
We should recap, lay it on me
The good, the bad, the in-between
Hey Steven, are you happy?
And how're the kids, man? How's that family?
They cannot spare you from the valleys
But they will give you something you can lean into
So keep it even, keep her happy
Don't be afraid to love her madly
She will steer you and keep you afloat
As you row that boat until you both let go someday
