Baby Blue

When I met you I had plans

I didn’t know I could change

I got a sense you were someone

That couldn't be explained

And here I am trying to capture

Your essence in a verse

All I know is you can work on things

And some things they just work

You showed me all the magic

Flowing through your spine

I felt in from your fingertips

All the way to mine

And I wanted nothing more

Than to be with you on earth

All I know is you can work on things

And some things they just work

And I wonder if you chose me

Or if I stumbled into you

Was it etched into a tablet

Was it scribbled in baby blue

Is it supposed to feel like medicine

Or is it supposed to hurt

All I know is you can work on things

And some things they just work

I lie awake at night

The kids asleep between us

Weighing the distance between you and I

The Volvo and the Prius

Between the wealthy and the destitute

What we get and what we deserve

And I wonder if we work on things

That really need the work

And I wonder if you chose me

Or if I stumbled into you

Was it etched into a tablet

Was it scribbled in baby blue

Is it supposed to feel like medicine

Or is it supposed to hurt

All I know is you can work on things

And some things they just work

So we drive to Minneapolis

Every other year

I know you'd rather fly

But driving keeps me clear

As I retrace the connection

From my hometown to yours
