| Nickel Creek – 21st of May Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
From an email Nickel Creek sent to subscribers: "Sean wrote this song on May 20th, 2011, the day before the supposed rapture as predicted and advertised by Bay Area pastor Harold Camping (whose point of view he sings it from). It was a close call but we made it." |

| Nickel Creek – Rest of My Life Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
From http://www.nonesuch.com/artists/nickel-creek : "Opening track 'Rest of My Life' started out as a morning-after riff—-'maybe it was actually midday,' Sean corrects—as he surveyed the living-room detritus after a party at his Hollywood home. It was a rueful little melody that Chris then built upon, and he found words that somehow managed to express what the woozy Sean was feeling." |

| Nickel Creek – Love of Mine Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
So the love that he's singing to is the feeling of love, personified. Love of mine, when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die (When he falls in love, he tells himself that it will last forever.) And I throw my arms Around the girl who finds you, (He attaches himself to the girl he falls in love with.) 'Cause the world is rosier Through your eyes (Because love makes things better.) I don't suppose you caught her name? (It doesn't matter who the girl is; the love is what's important.) Nevermind; I'll just name her After you, love of mine And fashion her into Your sweet, long-legged icon, (More of the "It doesn't matter who she is" stuff. She's going to fit his idea of what love is.) Making our prayers holier (More of "Love makes things better.") Satisfied, love, that she gave us to each other— The only thing she's done for me That you could never do (He couldn't love without someone to love, which is where the girl comes in.) For it she'll always be remembered After she discovers I don't love her Half as much as you (But ultimately, the girl still isn't that important. Love is.) Love of mine, when she goes, Why can't you stay here with me? (When she breaks up with him, he would still like to be in love.) Love of mine, when you die I tell myself that you never lived (When she leaves, he tells himself he never really loved her at all.) Even as I curse the girl Who says she'll find someone worthier Of the gift— (But he still acknowledges (and hates) her. And she's told him that she'll find someone worthy of her love.) Someone who wants to share it with her, Far away from those who take it to have and to hoard (She wants to love someone who will love her back, not just revel in the feeling of love.) And now I'm stuck here trying to not remember; For all these pretty words It wasn't her, but love that I adored It's my love I adore Love of mine, when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die |
