you wick away the water before you step out of the shower you lather on the lotion for about a thousand hours i soak up these scenes and small routines all the little things you do just when i thought you gave me everything you give me something new to love about you you love cheese enchiladas and candies with words written on them you make sure i’m tucked in tight before you leave me in the morning

lately i’ve been thinking bout your skin sweet and soft and brown just like cinnamon daily daydream for night to come and stay i wanna feel your body take my breath away i’m painting pictures of you in my head dame i hang those pictures of you in my bed frame the moon looks so good on you, i’ll never see it the same the only thing you’d wear better is my last name i love to hear you say your m’s and o’s i love the way i feel you in my toes your loving’s like a well, bottomless and deep always touching even when we sleep i must have done something right in my last life to get to lay by your side
i’ve got a girl with a smile the size of texas
it’s big and it’s bright and it spreads from ear to ear i’ve got a girl with a smile the size of texas how i wish that girl was with me here but the road rolls out and the highway winds all we got for now is this telephone line i’ll keep taking her calls if she keeps taking mine i love this girl, i do confess she’s the reason i’m believing in happiness no matter where i am she’s gonna be my return address i’ve got a girl as warm as california i lay out in her love and i get a tan i’ve got a girl as warm as california how i wish that girl was where i am a little girl whose crush finally kissed her on the cheek
a gambling man in Vegas on a winning streak even charlie in the chocolate factory none of these people are luckier than me let the angels sing, let the chicken's cluck i'm riding this love like a souped up truck you're my rabbit's foot, you keep me safe from harm i'm thanking my stars, you're my lucky charm a baby crazy pregnant lady when they tell her it's a litter the fans of a comedian who finally joins twitter the winner of the california lottery none of these people are luckier than me the buzzer beater shooter from half-court range a pardon from the warden for the guy they're gonna hang sandra bullock in that really shitty movie gravity none of these people are luckier than me a boy thleeping thoundly with his teeth under his pillow someone falling from a building n' rescued by a superhero a knock at your door from ed mcmahon none of these people are as lucky as i am when i thought i had nothing left when i thought i had died you waited with bated breath yeah you waiiiiiiited sure is not a shrug or an ambivalent guess it's a capital underlined yes in my mind's eye i see your smile and your heart beats in the heart of my heart your beauty is a beggar for description no words could ever play that part the course of true love never did run smooth but you brought your oars to my waves and i'm sure of one thing and that's you i will not let you fall, never all the way down
my love, under it all, you will be safe, i will be sound life’s a tightrope, you gotta walk it a deadbolted door, we keep trying to unlock it honey, i’ll be your net if you be my key won’t you walk and unlock life with me? i will not build up my walls, never too tall for you to come in my love, inside it all, you will be safe, i will be open *co-written with Veronica May the echo of the past, it lingers in my ear the rumble of the future, never here but ever near it's ok to look back it's ok to look on like the setting of suns and the breaking of dawns but space can make you close close can make you far the place you're missing most is right here where you are the voices of the past, they speak but don't say much the fingers of the future, reaching out without a touch it's ok to react it’s ok to stay calm like the flash of the sun on the horizon i asked how much do you love me, like new lovers do you said it's hard to quantify i said the universe is expanding, isn't that cool you said my darling i know why did you ever wonder what the universe is expanding into it's trying to catch up it's trying to keep up with my love for you it's an ongoing chase, surpassing time and space it can never be undone my love for you will outrun the universe i asked how long will you wait there, cause i need time you said i been waiting my whole life and i don't mind i said that time's unkind it has not been on my side you said you were and erased the finish line may let go of june there was no other way for her to bloom it was no easy thing; it took all of spring she didn't leave her behind she just gave her some room may let go of june june turned to july she said does saying hello mean saying goodbye? cause retrospect is gonna break my neck but the future is bright and I know why june turned to july may, june and july felt a gust of wind fall flew by; offered a hand to lend you know if time stood still, nothing would heal seasons would stall; wounds wouldn't mend may will come around again
it’s raining here in Oregon, springtime blossoms soak it in
just like me, my paper, petals, my pen, of course, the stem and the bridges i keep crossing they support and transfer weight over sleepy riverbeds of time their paths comprise my fate oregon is in my body now i’ll never be the same her skies moisturize my skin her rains cleans my brain her trees have brought me to my knees in gratitude and prayer oregon is in my body now wherever i am she’ll always be there easygoing attitudes in corner pubs and cafes i relax and tap my toes to the music that she plays her people so considerate, her careful care surrounds me leaves me wanting to improve, leaves me better than she found me |
