Circumstances Video (MV)

Drivin' around in your circumstances, I think you take too many chances
Where in the world's your wherewithal these days?
You didn't see, that Volvo almost hit you, yes, my love, it almost missed you
Your worried mind is in a midlife haze
What were you thinking about?
Your new career direction?
Or was it this insane election?
Or if you really have friends in this town?
You've been staying up late
Yeah, you eat too much
You're not young by any stretch
It's time to settle up and settle down

Maybe one thing's all you need to think about
And that's me! This is my brand-new philosophy
You say life's a moving meditation, well, this is a moving situation
Baby, I move you and you move me

But it's like I'm not here
Hey, I'm your true love, look at me now!
I can help you simply be now
You're lookin' everywhere but in front of you
Here's your guitar
You're always saying how you're an artist
Where's your art now the goin's hardest?
Write a new song about me and you

I don't care if you write about my issues
I got time and I got tissues
I can take your brutal honesty
You say you just can't get any traction
Clear the fog of your distraction
Save yourself, I love you, can't you see?

Don't you want my sweet love?
I love you even though you're crazy
You just gotta breathe now
You're such a good man, don't you know?
Everybody loves you
You're smart and capable and sweet, and it's not your responsibility
To worry about the president, or the 99%
Let's make this some time well spent
Tomorrow we could meet our end
I wanna make the most of you and me
