songs that made me cry

When on a run at 5:30am

Why "She said Daddy I'm afraid and I don't wanna die / and I could hear that awful storm and the tears falling from her eyes / she told me that she loved me and said a quick goodbye / then the message it just stopped abrupt and I couldn't stop crying"

When on the way home from a dr appt

Why "Will the warmth soon come? Will it thaw out my love? Where my life feels like enough / Will I be the sun?"

When during a brief guided meditation on a work trip in my hotel room in Moses Lake, WA

When on a morning run at 5:15am

Why "I remember that night, it was the night we met / Yeah, we drank three dollar wine to ease our existential dread / My head was on your chest; I remember you asked me / Have you ever told a lie?"

When on a morning run at 5:45am

Why "I used to crawl to your bedside when you were squirming through a heavy dream / Back when the scary part of a Pixar movie made you scream / And I love how you thought money was just kisses from a dog / Yeah one day you'll stop thinking out loud / And you'll keep scooting one seat down"

When live in concert holding my wife; pregnant with our 3rd child

Why "Nobody loves you like your mother, nobody loves you like that girl / Not your father, sister, or brother, nobody in this whole damn world / And when she leaves me to go her own way, I will be broken, I won't be ok"
