about

Ever loved someone so hard and so clearly seen their value, but been unable to convince them of their worth?

lyrics

Chorus:

He said
"Babe, I'm a broken man
I come from a distant land
A viking with nowhere to sail
And I've done what I came to do
Now I'm here standing next to you
Fighting with my teeth and nails
I wish I could make you see
Your honesty is killing me
My love, won't you leave me behind
It's cold where I'm comin' from
So I'll be here behind my gun
You can't love a man you can't find."

Vs. 1

I handle your shards like they're marks of magic
Fragments of your fortitude and most compelling facets
You try to hide your broken but I'm hoping you'll broadcast it
See that's the kind of beauty we should make known to the masses
See, your blemishes accept your assets
A stained glass window, a mosaic of your past
And although you've collapsed and been blasted to pieces
You've made a masterpiece from your particles of weakness

Vs. 2

But come on, aren't we all a brittle brand of broken
I'll cradle your heavy if you carry my ropes and
I'll open up your armour and see what's beneath
Without the shell of secrecy perhaps we both could breathe together
Come to the equation untethered
Bearing the scars and the scratches we've weathered
Beautifully broken but still complete
Just two imperfect characters with scrapes on our knees
