Ethan Lane - Minnesota Lyrics

I would lose it all to try
To lose the man inside
When my mind hurts
I rejoiced the day he died
There's no one else alive
I'm afraid of

Name the place and time
I'll show up thirty five
Minutes early
Lover, look me in the eyes
There's nothing but a lie
That could hurt me

There's some things I haven't told you
I wish I could hand you the moon
But I love Minnesota
I'd lose everything with you and start over

And I'll build you a home
A home like the one on my shoulder
From redemption and stone
Out of driftwood and mortar

We're romanced mad-hatters
Still learning what matters
My songs quit meaning as much
I let a couple years
Pass by while perfect fear
Started casting out love

If there's no fear in love
There's no fear in us
We'll be safe here
Hold each other close and know
This ain't the type of hope
You can shake, dear

There's some things I haven't told you
I wish I could hand you the moon
I love Minnesota
I'd lose everything with you and start over

And I'll build you a home
A home like the one on my shoulder
From redemption and stone
Out of driftwood and mortar

Hush little darling
There's no need to cry
I think God was just here
I think Heaven's alright
I think you've been surviving
Since I first dried your eyes
In your old home

We live and we let live
Forgive and forget
All the comfortable feelings
That all have turned red
While you're hoping and healing
Praying and reeling
With doubt

I can't get a grip
On whoever is listening
Ask me a secret
Ask me your questions
If you went and left then
Where would I be?

There's some things I haven't told you
Ain't we all just pining for truth
But God, I love Minnesota
I'd lose everything for you

And start over
