This is a great song. Joyner's lyrics are well considered and poetic, he definitely has lyrical skill, I love how the verses and phrasing function with the last lines of the stanza leading into the first line of the next. i.e.
"As the morning fog rolled off the dark// I had the whole night in my lungs" and "Don't hearts break nearly every other day// When you try to make the sweetness last".
