I was always late
You, never afraid
That we could be falling
All our friends would say
That maybe we should wait
But they can't see what's coming

And to this day
When everything breaks
You are the anchor that holds me

And that is why we'll always make it
How I know your face
All the ways you move
You come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
All the things you say
The way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone to make me come alive

When the days are long
And the thunder with the storm
Can always get me crying
Well you can make my bed
I'll fall into it
Shadowed but not lonely

'Cause I never knew home
Until I found your hands
And when I'm weathered
You come to me, you're my best friend

And that is why we'll always make it
How I know your face
All the ways you move
You come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
All the things you say
The way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone to make me come alive

And when we're making love
I give everything up for your touch

How I know your face
All the ways you move
You come in, I can read you
You're my favourite book
All the things you say
The way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone to make me come alive

And when you go to work
All the day I wait
For you to come home
Recount our time
In our little place
Our little place
Our little place
Our little place
Our little place
Our little place

    General Comment:I bless this song for being one of the only indie rock love songs that is 100% happy. I am planning a playlist for my wedding, and am finding that most of the songs I like and seem to be love songs, are actually full of hidden tragedy. Being in love, I totally get this tune. It's so beautiful!

    General Comment:Judging from the line repeated at the end of the song, I think they are talking about moving in together, not getting married.

    General Comment:No Emily Haines is the singer of Metric. I think this song has biblical references about people not knowing what is coming in the near future with regards to spiritual battles. Most music discusses these things although the artists may not realize it.

    General Comment:after pondering this songs meaning for a while i think that possibly it is not an extended metaphor but rather a literal interpritation of her favourite book. i dont know, either way its an excelent song.
