In the driveway, we were cleaning out my ashtray
Making jokes like, "Hell, at least I'm still alive"
I could always make you smile without trying
When you smile, well, it always makes me cry
I just keep telling myself, someday the sun will come shining again
If I can loosen my grip on the wings of the bird that tells me where to begin
And I wanna thank you for loving me when I just don't know what to say
Well, real love makes you feel at home when you're far away
Rain came down a mile out from Portland
The windshield split, we pulled off in the rain
I swear some people are alive and spend their whole lives just surviving
So the ones they love can learn from their mistakes
I just keep telling myself, someday the sun will come shining again
If I can loosen my grip on the wings of the bird that tells me where to begin
And I wanna thank you for loving me when I just don't know what to say
Well, real love makes you feel at home when you're far away
Stood out in that Florida heat
Staring at our sandy feet
Oh, the color of our blue eyes burned the same
Said you can tear down all the walls of all the places you called home
You can never walk away from where you came
I just keep telling myself, oh, oh
I just keep telling myself, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh
