Poison & Wine

Poison & Wine by The Civil Wars

You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
Oh you think your dreams are the same as mine
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
I always will

I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back
The less I give the more I get back
Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice but I still choose you
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will

My favorite interpretation of a anonymous person for the song: To me this song represents a truly deep soul connecting love. It breathes with intensity the push and pull of a great love. I've only had it once it my life, but this song truly represents the complexities and simplicities of two lovers who don't want to admit to each other how deeply and strongly they truly are connected. They both know it, they both hide from it, they both know the other could absolutely kill and crush their heart. They dance back and forth, each knowing, each feeling the other's constant vibration within themselves and although at times the intensity is too much, they just can't break it...they have no choice in the matter. The love is meant to be.
