Story Behind the Song
Written from my observations of the evolution of relationships.
Lyrics
Slidin through another morning
A little gray - a little rain
It slips away without a warning
And then the evening goes the same
She stays at home and does the laundry
Hes nine to five for fifty-two
They know theyll always stay together
Cause what else would they do?
And the seasons fly, And the children grow
And all those thoughts of someday, All safely put away
Forever I suppose
And so it falls, And so it goes
The years give up their best, Two lives will come to rest
At the angle of repose
They say I love you every night
But they touch so seldom anymore
From when the kids were young and restless
Theyre still afraid to close the door
And when the last ones gone away
Theres no surprise, they always knew
He takes her hand across the table
And says, Now what will we do?
Whenever love finds equilibrium
All commotion slows
A lifetime is barely minimum
They say for some its horizontal
Its when they both rest in the grave
But I believe it is the angle
We lean on each other day to day
And the seasons fly, And the children grow
And all those thoughts of someday, All safely put away
Forever I suppose
And so it falls, And so it goes
The years give up their best, Two lives will come to rest
At the angle of repose
The years gave up their best, Two lives have come to rest
At the angle of repose
