Mangan, Dan - Peaks & Valleys Lyrics






Love is simple when it's broken
It's the softest words ever spoken
And I said I was kidding, but I was jokin'
Now I'm twisted up and lost in thought
But I remember what I was thinking
All those feelings always sinking
All that waiting to take that stage
And the feeling we could let 'em wait

Hey Steven, how's Sally?
How're the peaks and how're the valleys?
I've been down some, but I'll rally
Have you found something to sink your teeth into?
Keep it even, keep her happy
Don't be afraid to love her madly
'Cause she will steer you and keep you afloat
As you row that boat until you both let go someday

So is it simple? Being older?
We've got all these kids upon our shoulders
See, I just get softer - the world gets colder
Now I'm twisted up and lost in thought
But do you remember? The night got late?
Equations were recalculating in my veins
And you saved my life in the final round
Some kind of paper cup tea, some hell-bath festival ground

Hey Steven, how's Sally?
How're the peaks and how're the valleys?
I've been down some, but I'll rally
Have you found something to sink your teeth into?
Keep it even, keep her happy
Don't be afraid to love her madly
We should recap, lay it on me
The good the bad, the in-between

Hey Steven, are you happy?
And how're the kids, man? How's that family?
They cannot spare you from the valleys
But they will give you something you can lean into
So keep it even, keep her happy
Don't be afraid to love her madly
'Cause she will steer you and keep you afloat
As you row that boat until you both let go someday

  1. Y.... B....

    It sounds a bit like Mr. Tony Allen on the drums.. ;-)... On the other side.. I can not connect at all this clip, the visual (these cool breakdancers, for sure but..) with this track, sorry...

  2. D.... K....

    Awesome song but the dancing doesnt fit at all. And I love that one guy mark....something?

  3. A.... R....

    this song means so much on it's own. i love it. the video is great too.
    i have shared it with someone who i think could benefit from hearing it.
    thanks Dan !

  4. J.... G....

    2 people still stuck in their "valley's". Great track Dan

  5. F.... ....

    Comedy Bang Bang brought me here as well. Love the song, though I admit, I prefer the acoustic version. There are some odd instrumental things going on in the background on the album version, that for me, distracts from the amazing lyrics and ruins the song for me. Sorry, hate to be critical on such a beautiful song with an amazing back story; just bummed that the only acoustic version I know of, is in the middle of a podcast.

  6. A.... G....

    Hot Saucerman brought me here, buying Dan's album now!

  7. Z.... R....

    Heard this song for the first time on Comedy Bang Bang the other day. Randy Useless jumped on the track and said "and now, it's time for a breakdown."
    Yeah, me.
    God dammit, this song is *beautiful*

    Z.... R....

    I did ass well... Won't lie I like the acoustic version he did on the show better
