Peaks & Valleys

Love is simple when it's broken
It's the softest words ever spoken
And I said I was kidding, but I was jokin'
Now I'm twisted up and lost in thought
But I remember what I was thinking
All those feelings always sinking
All that waiting to take that stage
And the feeling we could let 'em wait

Hey Steven, how's Sally?
How're the peaks and how're the valleys?
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

Hey Steven, how's Sally?
How're the peaks and how're the valleys?
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
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
'Cause she will steer you and keep you afloat
As you row that boat until you both let go someday
