Track One: Move Through

The first song on the Tolerance album in lyrics and photos

1. Move Through

So you don’t wanna marry me? Well, alright

I’ll sell the ring back to the jeweler, I will go missing in the night

Or maybe I’ll spend our whole damn lives trying to change your mind

Or I will just sit still and love you how you like…

I just need a little time for it to move through

I just need a little while of getting used to

We can pick up all the pieces and rebuild it all again

And that’s just fine with me

I just need time, baby

I don’t need to reach some peak, that was just desire

I don’t need to have some plans, no irons in the fire

I can get my feelings hurt, I can let it breathe

I can let it break my heart and not take you down with me

Not take you down with me

I just need a little time for it to move through

I just need a little while of getting used to

We can pick up all the pieces and rebuild it all again

And that’s just fine with me

I just need time, baby

Forever has a way of feeling shorter every day

and I don’t want to waste another minute

How many ways can we set each other free?

I don’t want a life without you in it

So I let it move through and I let it move me

And I try to soothe you when you let me

And we’re doing our best to love while we grow

And sometimes it breaks my heart

And sometimes it don’t

-E.R.F.
