Whole Love Lyrics

My gold marigolds attack
My black bed of roses
I'm going to bring 'em all back
With hypnosis ho

And I know that I won't be
The easiest to set free
And I know that I won't be the last
Cold captain tied to the mast

I recall you on the telephone
I recall when you get mad
I will still love you to death
And I won't ever forget how

And I know that I won't be
The easiest to set free
And I know that I won't be the last
Cold captain tied to the mast

I'm on the other side
I'm on the sunny side
I'm on a spirit dove
I'm looking for your love

I'm simple as a matter of fact
Punch in the nose, don't overreact
I will still love you to death
And I won't ever forget how

And I know that I won't be
The easiest to set free
And I know that I won't be the last
Cold captain tied to the mast

And I know that I won't be the one
To securely know when it's wrong
But I hope I know when it's past
And I hope I know when to show you my
Whole love
Whole love
Whole love
Whole love
Whole love
Whole love
Whole love
I won't ever forget how

the line "cold captain tied to the mast" is probably a reference to the Odyssey, when Odysseus wants to hear the song of the sirens and ties himself to the mast of the ship so he won't be seduced by their song and steer the ship into the rocks.

Sort of the ancient equivalent of giving someone your car keys before you go get shit faced.

Best song on the new album. At least my favorite. Just a sweet song saying even though he can be a pain in the ass he's aware of it and appreciates whomever is putting up with him
