You + I

A covered bridge Somewhere in The middle of nowhere Can you picture this You and I You and I You and I That shade of red You only get From weathering The elements Can you picture this You and I You and I You and I Some sunny summer morning We pack the car With lunch and a paper map We laugh and we laugh and we laugh And it feels like running away Even just for a day, I would take that Once we're close We start walking It's the first moment We're not talking We always have So much to say And so little time You and I You and I You and I Quaking Aspen Overhead Around the bend A wooden fence Can you picture this You and I You and I You and I Up this close It's smaller than I would have guessed You take my hand We step on in You and I You and I You and I The darkness offers some relief From the July heat You say something sweet There's an echo and We laugh and we laugh and we laugh And it feels like Maybe we've escaped Even just for a day, I would take that I press my body to your chest Your back against the wood You rest your chin on top my head And life is good This is good We always have so much to do And so little time You and I You and I You and I I whisper Baby, we could stay Let's cross our fingers Pray for rain And my refrain is You and I You and I You and I We go back The way we came The trees, the fence Look the same Still we have changed You and I You and I You and I Can you picture this? You and I You and I You and I
