| Fair to Midland – The Wife, the Kids, and the White Picket Fence Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
So, I am a 33 years old man who had 12 years with a woman that I still love and we have a kid together she gave me the world, and as of recent events we are no longer friends, seperated and silent to me at least, and it has been very hard. So I have been listening to FTM because they are our favorite band. I don't really think much of mail-order brides, turtle necks and trophy wives (Other than what people would like to think of them selves) I think a lot of the song, like two peas in a pod, a battle axe and a bastard child represents the couple who is in love, and what separates them. (so alike in many ways, but also constantly butting heads because of a past or trauma that affected them) Took one step more, and went straight to the source (making a child, the source of life the creation of one in order and hope that it can repair or hold together what once entered the picket fence) The white picket fence surrounding them (the idea of having a home and building a family, but its seemingly is forced in some way on both parties. (moving in with someone, it looks good but in the end failed to work out) When he says "now both ends meet" (I think perhaps in my perspective that he is talking about the couple seeing eye to eye, getting along and working together.) Talking about there's a time and a place, to me means that with the dedication of old fashioned fool love, waiting until they come back, knowing they may rely on them again. (waiting until she needs me, be there when its the most important and always supporting even tho I am alone and sad) The tug of war being any argument or situation that the couple experienced together and how long it can go on for until one decides to help the other pull. (like me right now, and our friendship being torn apart because of others opinions affecting her sight) While between you and me from point A to point B (That perhaps one has full insight into what they want, that no matter what anyone says they have full faith in the other and relationship in what it could be) That burns at both our good ends (like a candle, if you were to try and light it from the bottom it would not, but light at the wick and it burns the correct flow all the way to the end of its life) Go on paint the whole town red, id rather follow who cleans up the mess (when one is angry, throws blame, makes the relationship difficult to interact with one another, but at the same time having that faith that in time things will settle out and show that it didn't have to move in that direction at all) When he yells at so I wait, All i can hear is a long "I I love you" Anyways, this song makes me cry, I want to sing my own version of it to the woman who gave me the world and apologize for the hurt i have caused her, the mother of our child. |
