Seven Days a Thousand Times

A Saturday downpour carved out rivers in the sand

She said it was her first time to see the sea

Helping to climb across those jetty rocks was the first time I touched her hand

And the rain and the way it felt never let up all week

By Thursday, I knew everything about her

And, God, the last day I didn't wanna leave without her

The sidewalks and streets were soaked and the sky was gray

But you should've seen her face, shining like that light house

Through all the rain and the way she called my name

Well, I've lived those seven days a thousand times

Those seven days a thousand

And time was like the tide, it came and went

That old pier ran clear out into the mist

And my mind plays that Tuesday night again and again and again

I taste that saltwater taffy on her lips

And Wednesday morning snuck in through the window

And we just laid there and listened to the waves come and go

The sidewalks and streets were soaked and the sky was gray

But you should've seen her face, shining like that light house

Through all the rain and the way she called my name

Well, I've lived those seven days a thousand times

Those seven days a thousand

Moments with her, now they're all a blur

Except for every second, every word

Every drop of rain, every single grain of sand

The sidewalks and streets were soaked and the sky was gray

But you should've seen her face, shining like that light house

Through all the pouring rain and the way she called my name

Well, I've lived those seven days a thousand times

Those seven days a thousand times
