lyrics

For the first time in my life, I am at a loss for words.
I should leave your melody to the wind and the singing of the birds.
I can't do you justice. There's nothing I can write
That can start to match the beauty of the way you looked that night
With your hands on my chest and that look in your eyes
When I finally confessed, but I don't think you were surprised

I take the train to your station and I'm glad it's not that far,
But it'd be so much more convenient if somebody had a car
So we could drive along the back roads and watch the season turn
While we cling to our coffees and the things that we have learned.
This might all seem fast, and I'm not talking 'bout the drive
But how I suddenly feel that I need you to survive.
We can live in an apartment with a mattress on the floor,
And if you're with me every morning, I won't ever have to ask for more.

When we're not together I can hear you in my sighs.
I taste you on my lips, feel you pressed into my side.
We're like an indie movie with an existential theme,
But we'll still be there in the end and not get lost inside a dream.
I will be your sailor 'til you bring me to my knee,
Then I will be your anchor so we'll never get lost at sea.
