lyrics

I wake up in the morning and I want to see your face
I swear that the birds are calling out your name
I’ve been on the road for 5 days now, I think
You’ve been on my mind for 4 days now at least

I am still afraid that there will come a day
When you pack up your bags and you’ll be on your way
And my living room will become a shallow grave
For all the happy memories I’ve saved up in my brain

And I have never loved you like this before
I am getting scared cause you’re so beautiful
You are like wind and the way that the trees move
When the winter’s coming in and there’s nothing left to prove

I’ve been reading stories written by the beatnik poets
Hitting Boulder and California and then dying in the sand
If I could be a character lift from the ink into the air
I would solve the mysteries and come back home to you

And I have never loved you like this before
I am getting scared cause you’re so beautiful
If you are Woody Guthrie, then I’m a moving train
I’ll keep you from the cold and I’ll hide you from the rain

I’ve been waiting for you every single day
I wait for you to go, I wait for you to stay
I don’t understand it, but I don’t really care
Everything you say becomes music to my ears

And I have never loved you like this before
I am getting scared cause you’re so beautiful
If you’re a symphony, then I’m a violin
I’ll lead you through the movements and I’ll sing you home again
And I have never loved you like this before
I am getting scared cause you’re so beautiful
If you are Woody Guthrie, then I’m a moving train
I’ll keep you from the cold and I’ll hide you from the rain
