Ocoee

In a crowded room of fickle friends My life felt like two bookends And every story in the middle had led me to tonight A leather jacket talking off the ear Of a girl I loved in my sophomore year And then I hypocritically ask if she remembers my my name What if I could hold you without feeling this doubt? Maybe that's what love is all about Oh Ocoee when you held me in your rushing waters Tolerate the symptoms of the sins of the father Something wouldn't let you open up your heart When I told you I was changing for the better Every summer feeling older with your lonely loose ends When you moved to town how everyone was a new kid Roses down your dress on a wedding weekend Lovely as you're floating down the river Thanksgiving you were spoutin' advice Like don't ever take for granted being alive Judy knows my secrets just by looking into my eyes And if you focus on my darkest sides Well you sell short my signs of light I am a waiting room magazine you won't need me forever Isn't being an open book commendable without everything I've ever thought about? Oh Ocoee when you held me in your rushing waters Tolerate the symptoms of the sins of the father Something wouldn't let you open up your heart When I told you I was changing for the better Every summer feeling older with your lonely loose ends When you moved to town how everyone was a new kid Roses down your dress on a wedding weekend Lovely as you're floating down the river Oh Ocoee when you held me in your rushing waters Tolerate the symptoms of the sins of the father Something wouldn't let you open up your heart When I told you I was changing for the better Every summer feeling older with your lonely loose ends When you moved to town how everyone was a new kid Roses down your dress on a wedding weekend Lovely as you're floating down the river Oh Ocoee when you held me in your rushing waters Tolerate the symptoms of the sins of the father Something wouldn't let you open up your heart When I told you I was changing for the better Every summer feeling older with your lonely loose ends When you moved to town how everyone was a new kid Roses down your dress on a wedding weekend Lovely as you're floating down the river
