Fighting for your Marriage - a poetic lesson from The Civil Wars

The Civil Wars may be the best group you've never heard of.  If you have, then you know they're out of touch with one another right now but still managed to put out a new album.

One of the songs on the album is called Same Old Same Old, and is a great call for modern marriages.  The idea:  I can't stay in this "same old same old" marriage, but instead of jumping ship I'm going to fight for it to become what it can.

Press play on this video.  They lyrics are below.  If your marriage needs your fighting to make it, don't settle for the Same Old Same Old.

I wanna leave you 

I wanna lose us
I wanna give up
But I won't

I wanna miss this
I want a heartache
I wanna run away
But I won't

'Cause do I love you
Oh, I do
And I'm going to 'til I'm gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
same old, same old
Well, I don't
I don't

I'm gonna break things
I'm gonna cross the line
And make you wake up
'cause you won't

I'm gonna name names,
I'm gonna call us out
I'm gonna say it
if you won't

'Cause do I love you
Oh, I do
And I'm going to 'til I'm gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
same old, same old
Well, I don't

Oh I don't wanna fight
But I'll fight with you
if I have to, If I have to

'Cause do I love you
Oh, I do
And I'm going to 'til I'm gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
same old, same old
Same old, same old
Well, I don't
I don't
