Love and Retreat illustrates moments of conflict between loved ones, highlighting the importance of loving communication when it comes to expressing anger.
lyrics
We talk religion, politics, all of the things
That families ought to resist
After dinner’s finished
It’s never been like this before
We’ve loved, we’ve laughed, we’ve never been at war
I keep eyeing the door
I meet her eyes across the room, try to guess what she thinks
Of this conversational catastrophe
When she walks away and just starts to clean
I think, it’s a fine line between love and retreat
The TV’s off, we all sit and talk, the night begins
To turn into the dawn
And the wine is all gone
No music in the background now
He stands up, cuts me off, and begins to shout
He is on his toes now
I bring myself right to the edge of my seat
And my fingers grip the books in my lap that he lent me
I start to fidget with the page corners and think
That it’s a fine line between love and retreat
We sit across the table at a restaurant
To give it one more shot
Guess that’s all that we’ve got
His parting words are sharp, for sure,
But it’s not anything that I haven’t heard
I know he’s just bitter
After I pay the bill, I take a ride to the beach
And I dig a hole in the sand with my nephew and niece
I try to act like everything is still in one piece
But it’s a fine line between love and retreat
