I still remember what it felt like
To sit out on your porch during a slow night
To stare out at the street and watch them pass by
Like we're the only ones without some place to go
I didn't kiss you til it felt right
But I knew what holding you would feel like
I wasn't hung up on the hard times
I fell in love before I saw you fly
Just promise me you'll read this letter
And tell me that your life got better
They see the place you're headed towards
But I've been where you're coming from
I knew you when the light was distant
The tunnel was the place we kissed in
They see the place you're headed towards
But I've been where you're coming from
I've been where you're coming from
I still remember you with eyes wide
When you told me how you'd never quite been loved right
How life would never beat you in a fair fight
Just circumstance had never sent a fair foe
So I didn't kiss you on that first night
But dear I held you and I held tight
I know the wings you've grown are some sight
But I fell in love before I saw you fly
Just promise me you'll read this letter
And tell me that your life got better
They see the place you're headed towards
But I've been where you're coming from
I knew you when the light was distant
The tunnel was the place we kissed in
They see the place you're headed towards
But I've been where you're coming from
I've been where you're coming from
When the times right, on a slow night, I'll be there then
When you fly high, but don't land right, I'll be there then
Just promise me you'll read this letter
And tell me that your life got better
They see the place you're headed towards
But I've been where you're coming from
I knew you when the light was distant
The tunnel was the place we kissed in
They see the place you're headed towards
But I've been where you're coming from
I've been where you're coming from
