Shoulder to Shoulder

Shoulder to shoulder

On the dock

Watch the tide rise and fall

And the pontoons start to rock

Stay up late enough to watch

The storm pass

Hear the bullfrogs sing lullabies and wait

For time to lapse

Reach for my hand and I'll hold on tight

Trace a map to my heart with your thumb

Intertwine your fingers in mine

Till my arms fall asleep

And begin to feel numb

Palm to palm

As we walk to your door

Stay for a while and sit on the porch

Talk about everything with heavy eyes and butterflies

But only the best kind

Reach for my hand and I'll hold on tight

Trace a map to my heart with your thumb

Intertwine your fingers in mine

Till my arms fall asleep

And begin to feel numb

Shoulder to shoulder

Is where we left off

Pick it up in a few months

And hope it still feels like

Enough
