Lyrics:
Alaska I'm in love with you, even if I never knew
That secret thing which in you snapped as you sought out your great perhaps.
You were just a broken girl trying to make sense of the world;
And now I see a hurricane is just the same as drizzling rain.

In the months that came before, you always left me wanting more
Yeah you made secrecy an art, a crooked girl, a crooked heart.
You taught me how to smoke and drink, a smile upon your lips so pink,
and in a moment made to last you left the labyrinth straight and fast.

Alaska I'm in love with you, even if I never knew
That secret thing which in you snapped as you sought out your great perhaps.
You were just a broken girl trying to make sense of the world;
And now I see a hurricane is just the same as drizzling rain.

It's hard to lose your sense of hope if you feel you never can be broke.
But even brightest lights will fail, comets someday lose their tails.
And now you're gone where I can't go, and who you were I'll never know.
I should not have looked ahead- nostalgic future, now you're dead.

Alaska I'm in love with you, even if I never knew
That secret thing which in you snapped as you sought out your great perhaps.
You were just a broken girl trying to make sense of the world;
And now I see a hurricane is just the same as drizzling rain.

But I can't hold this against you, the greatest part of you still lives.
I'll survive this maze for both of us - I will learn to forgive

Alaska! I can't forget you, even if I never knew
How to capture moments as they passed, always looking for my great perhaps.
You were never just a girl, you helped me make sense of the world.
And now before the hurricane, I'm going to run run run run run
Run run run run run
Run run run run run

[IsThatACabbage]

This is a song that has the very rare capability to make me cry even when I'm not listening to it. You have a beautiful talent. Never stop being extraordinary.

[brendanlinwood]

@IsThatACabbage That is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me.

[KiryahLove92]

This is BEAUTIFUL. I love it!

Is there any way I can download it?

[brendanlinwood]

@KiryahLove92 For now, feel absolutely and totally free to use a Youtube-to-mp3 converter to just rip the audio. Be sure to subscribe so I can let you know when I have a much better quality version available for download :)

I demand that you change the line at 2:21 to "It's hard to lose your sense of hopin' if you feel you never can be broken" because GRAMMAR.

Lovely to see you on the tubes again, Brendy.

[brendanlinwood]

@TheMinuteVlog I would cite millions of examples of poor grammar for the sake of musicianship, but I don't feel the need to.

I miss you.
