Desert Hearts really said “I just say her name and I wanna smile” and “I’m holding you off the ground the whole time I’m singing this song” and “You’re gonna make me cry.” “No, I’m gonna make you some tea” and “Don’t I always get you through the good times, babe?” and “I’ve known you longer than anybody in my life.” “Meaning?” “That’ll never be it.” and “She just reached into my heart and put a string of lights there” and “I love your life, babe.

A must-read."
