Blueberry Waffles

6:37 on Friday I got the call And as soon as my hands stopped shaking I got in the car And I was gone A drive up the I5 A waterfall from my eyes And a hurricane in my head Of the moments you gave us We'll never have again Like blueberry waffles on Sundays Drinking coffee with Marilyn Monroe Hotrod magazines stacked to the ceiling The vinyl The tools And the photos We'll keep the lessons you taught us handy And forever I'm sure we'll find Long silver hair Turning up everywhere Bringing images to life Of the sweeter and simpler times Of Blueberry waffles Of Blueberry waffles The next couple months were a train wreck We were alone, oh alone Tied up in all of the red tape Filling out forms Slaves to the phone Yard sales Emails Drowning in the details And a hurricane from back home As we take baby steps out into the unknown I miss blueberry waffles on Sundays Drinking coffee with Marilyn Monroe Hotrod magazines stacked to the ceiling The vinyl The tools And the photos We'll keep the lessons you taught us handy And forever I'm sure we'll find Long silver hair Turning up everywhere Bringing images to life Of the sweeter and simpler times Of Blueberry waffles Of Blueberry waffles We're coming up on a year now And I'm still trying to figure out how To stand on my own two feet And when I feel myself losing steam I look back on the sacred things Like blueberry waffles on Sundays Drinking coffee with Marilyn Monroe Hotrod magazines stacked to the ceiling The vinyl The tools And the photos We'll keep the lessons you taught us handy And forever, well I'm sure we're gonna find Long silver hair Turning up everywhere Bringing images to life Of the sweeter and simpler times Of Blueberry waffles Of Blueberry waffles With all the syrup And the butter And the flour And the flax How'd you make room for all the love that you packed In those waffles?
