There’s parts of your life you go through, you just don’t know where you are . . . Hopefully, you wake up and there’s somebody, you know, you can trust next to ya . . .
Update: When the video was up, it included the song and a little snippet of an interview with Jeff Tweedy. Those are his words above, but the sentiment resonates with me.
Here’s the song, if you care to listen:

I haven’t had the pleasure of waking up to someone I trust next to me in many years.
After I went through that time of my life where I searched for someone – I just gave up.
I went back to earlier times in my life, where if someone wanted to get close or I wanted to get close – we had to fuck first. It was such a simplier time. (And yes, not many came close – but there were no games)
The thing about trust, I think, is that it is a choice. We’re led to believe that trust is a feeling but really it is a decision. You decide that someone is worth the risk of you putting him or her in a position to utterly crush you. It’s not very romantic, I guess. But when you know that you have chosen to allow someone to have that kind of power over you, I don’t think you ever take the person for granted and I think you appreciate all the more every day that you enjoy and are not crushed by your choice.
