lyrics

I drove through seven states
To get away, and I cried the whole way
I wrote a thousand words
A thousand ways that I didn’t say “I loved you”
And I thought when I let them fly, I said goodbye
Never knew that the wind would take them back,
Back to you

From stealing smiles in grocery aisles to holding you at night
From broken promises to kisses at every traffic light
I’d do it all again if you told me then you’d be mine to hold
Now I fall asleep listening to the beat of your heart of gold

You made a few mistakes
I turned away when I wanted to stay
Our signals crossed, a heavy cost
But all love lost comes back someday
I loved you, and I’ll be damned if I let go, when you know you know
And I knew that someday I’d come back,
Back to you

From stealing smiles in grocery aisles to holding you at night
From broken promises to kisses at every traffic light
I’d do it all again if you told me then you’d be mine to hold
Now I fall asleep listening to the beat of your heart of gold

From jagged parts of broken hearts to finally feeling whole
It’s like waking up, we’re making up the time that sadness stole
I’d do it all again if you told me then you’d be mine to hold
Now I fall asleep listening to the beat of your heart of gold
