From the recording Happy Ending (2016)
When you were young your athletic and otherworldy talent amazed; your fierce loyalty to the true call beneath that voice, through all the modulations of its expression and all the significant milestones of your life, some heart-stoppingly painful, some magically beautiful, has produced a body of work that transcends the ephemeral ambitions attached to its youthful incarnation to become something I think of as being holy - that is to say, a relentless, devotional, expressive body of work forged over the lifetime of an artist through every travail and epiphany of living regardless of circumstance and in celebration of life's deepest principles and experiences. - Ethan

Lyrics
I wanna go to the safest place you know
make it good, make you see you can still depend on me
I wanna say everything the perfect way
so you won’t have to lie and say I never made you cry
And I don’t know where to begin
I don’t know how to explain how this happened again
And I know that it’s a crime to ask for one more thing,
to trust me one more time
‘Cause this ain’t how the story ends
with you and me trying to be friends
and seeing the kids on the weekends
no this ain’t how the story ends
You’re gonna be, at the age of ninety-three
telling everyone in sight how we finally got it right
How it wasn’t too late, how the second act was great
how we learned from mistakes and that love is all it takes
And you’ll breathe a sigh of relief
the pregnant pause of faith has given birth to belief
And we’ll shine brighter than the sun
a candle breaks in two, a fire burns as one
And this is how the story ends
with you and me as the best of friends
and getting our groove on the weekends
yes this is how the story ends
And this is how the story ends
with you and me as the best of friends
and getting our groove on the weekends
yes this is how the story ends
