Nada Surf - Always Love Lyrics

To make a mountain of your life is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me

Always love
Hate will get you every time
Always love
Don't wait till the finish line

Slow demands come 'round
Squeeze the air and keep the rest out
It helps to write it down
Even when you then cross it out

But always love, hate will get you every time
Always love, even when you wanna fight

Self-directed lives
I want to know what it'd be like to
Aim so high above
Any card that you get dealt, you

Always love
Hate will get you every time
Always love
Hate will get you

I've been held back by something
Yeah, you said to me quietly on the stairs
I've been held back by something
Yeah, you said to me quietly on the stairs
You said
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones

To make a mountain of your life is just a choice
But I never learned enough
To listen to the voice that told me

Always love (always love)
Hate will get you every time
Always love (always love)
Hate will get you

I've been held back by something
Yeah, you said to me quietly on the stairs
I've been held back by something
Yeah, you said to me quietly on the stairs
You said
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones
Hey, you good ones
Ah-ah-ah
