Temper Your Expectations Video (MV)

I never can start these things right
Writing a song like this I
Want to say common things in a way that's unique
All of the pain we've caused
And all that's been caused to us
It's a miracle we can even find the strength to feel
With pain comes the clarity
In the absence of subtlety
I can only ever say just what I mean
So come down to bleecker street
I'll make you some herbal tea
Cause all of your pain's alright with me
I know that you're just waiting for the other shoe to drop
And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't too
I know that you're just waiting for the growing pains to stop
But to be honest I don't think they ever do
It just hurts a little less when I'm with you
With all of the shit we've been through
It's likely the worst is ahead too
So batten the hatches down a storm is on the rise
Gather your motivations
And temper your expectations
Hold on to everything that makes you feel alive
If love is just a chemical, so's every lie we've ever told
And the truth is only truth if you think it's true
Paint the chains that hold me gold, with all these thoughts of growing old
The end of days is nothing we can't get through
It just hurts a little less when I'm with you
