Beautiful like 1996
Felt as if you belonged to something bigger
When we met at your tail end graveyard shift
Coffee pots and the caffeinated shivers
There's a promise I'm convinced that I could make you
Like I'll never have a doubt I won't deliver
But for a moment you recede into the dark blue
Like sunset casts fire upon the river
Does waiting tables in a rafting town
While your dreams are fading make you feel impounded?
I am sure you're something that resides in me
Like an unturned stone in a shining creek
You're a memory of me waking up
To a country song in a two door truck
I am sure there's something that resides in me
That you could hold on to even if you leave
Your silhouette aligned with the curve of the crescent
As I bargained with my heart to make this feel right
I was thinking of love's natural progression
Reason's never held you softly in the moonlight
Maybe we could move a few states over
I stutter out with the thoughtlessness of a young man
But while you're occupied with smoking on the back porch
I release my fears into the open
Does waiting tables in a rafting town
While your dreams are fading make you feel impounded?
I am sure you're something that resides in me
Like an unturned stone in a shining creek
You're a memory of me waking up
To a country song in a two door truck
I am sure there's something that resides in me
That you could hold on to even if you leave
