Wow. I heard this song for the first time today and it struck me like an anvil to the heart.
Love is a crazy thing. It’s what drives us all, at least, it’s what drives me. From swimming to where I live to what I want to do with my life, love is the driving force behind it all. Ironically, it’s a driving force that is both “poison and wine.” With my acid reflux, it’s doubly ironic, because wine really does act like a poison.
There’s someone (or something) in all of our lives that we “don’t love.” But, in reality, no matter how hard we think we don’t or won’t, we always will.
Song Lyrics:
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
The back story to the song as told by the artist:
Poison & Wine is a musical snapshot about the dichotomy of love – that while it can be the thing that destroys you, it can also be the very same thing that beckons and builds you. JP and I are both married have been for several years now – and we got to talking one day about what a tug and pull our individual relationships can be. The longer you know someone – and the longer you allow someone to know you – the more the light and shadows inside each person become more vivid. This song was our attempt at being as brutally honest about the dangerous and beautiful process of knowing and being known. (-Joy Williams, The Civil Wars)
