Doves

You said I'm 95% sure that nothing can stop me

I think about it now as the trees blow past

You knew I wasn't very good with numbers

Kinda felt like a sneak attack

I’m on the road early in the morning

It’s where I go to think about love

I know it’s usually a symbol of peace

But we used to hunt for doves

Free to leave, free to learn

Free to shine, free to burn

Free to win, free to lose

Free to make it to the other side of you

I used to get up before the dawn

I'd carry his box full of shells

I'd watch my breath rise up to the moon

All kinda ways to cast a spell

I thought I passed that field a while back

Hard to know with all the new roads

What I wouldn't give to be back in my stand

Make you tell me all you know

Free to leave, free to learn

Free to shine, free to burn

Free to win, free to lose

Free to make it to the other side of you

We got in a fight on this highway once

So I bought you a shirt where we stopped for gas

It said "how can I miss you if you won't go away?"

I guess I thought it'd make you laugh

Maybe I've grown up a little since then

Maybe change ain't scary like I thought it was

Still I try to keep it to myself

That we used to hunt for doves

Free to leave, free to learn

Free to shine, free to burn

Free to win, free to lose

Free to make it to the other side of you
