lyrics

Keeping quiet under covers,
I was sick to my stomach,
A John Hughes movie playing loudly,
To mask the sounds of our voices laughing,
6 AM and the nerves kick in,
Atop a borrowed queen to absorb the sins,
Of 15 years on this planet,
And an eternity with her to spend it.

And I can't tame her eyes,
They burn like lanterns in the dark,
Radiant like echoes of her heart,
That beats in time with mine.

Keeping simple and staying honest,
I'll buy you roses and script you sonnets,
But that won't tell you what you are to me,
You're the blood in my veins that race down to my feet,
3 years down, and forever to go,
As long as there's a bed down in Baltimore,
I'll take that drive a million times,
I'll brave the months and those yellow lines.

And are you lonesome tonight?
Are there tears in your throat,
I know it gets so hard sometimes,
And 3 years beneath our skin, baby,
You know I'll take the drive.
