about
Once again to offer insight on the track, our Vocalist states:
"Dropper was probably one of the first to be written for the record. It is exactly what it says it is. It's a love letter to my Wife. Love is a complicated emotion that comes with many ups and downs. There will be smiles and joy, but also tears and worry. This track is a tale and expression of all those things. That with all the good can come the less than wonderful. Despite those times, even when the Universe seems to want to pull us apart, there is perseverance and the need to see it through. That there will be no regrets, no matter the outcome. The actual title comes from the feeling that many describe differently. Some call it butterflies. Some call it a pit in the stomach. Some say the heart drops, stops, or skips a beat. A similar physical response amplified differently through various emotions."
lyrics
A broken shell when we met
A shattered world on the mend
A smile shedding light on
Everything it felt right but
The timing it was all wrong
And the waiting it felt so long
Youth gave me the time to lend
And I would do it all again
The world has a way
The world has a way of saying
This has to be
This has to end up this way
Testing our fate
Laughing in destiny’s face
Took you into my world
Protect you all that I could
Gave you all that I thought you’d want
The glow you gave was payment enough
The guard I had up is gone
I was shut off far too long
Heart on my wrist and not my sleeve
But for you I’d do it all again
The world has a way
The world has a way of laughing
This has to be
This has to end up this way
Testing our fate
Laughing in destiny’s face
Is this the place,
Place that you’re longing to stay
Just standing there
Standing with nothing to say
Time has
Robbed us of what we know
Made us think that we are fractured
These changes shouldn’t break us
When we are...
Holding forever and always in our hands
Look at where we have been
I don’t know where it will end
The light in your eyes has dimmed a bit
Dolefully I reminisce
Does it grow more each day
Or that something you just say
But no matter what tomorrow brings
For you, I’d do it all again
The world’s in my way
It won’t stop me from trying
This has to be
This has to end up this way
Testing our fate
Laughing in destiny’s face
Is this the place
Place that you’re longing to stay
Just standing here
Waiting for what you might say
