I Was the Canyon

I've been standing outside all December
Despite this rain despite this shitty weather
I took you to my heart just like a hammer
Just like a nail into this tree I raised

I love you just the way you love those mountains
The tall trees the river water fountains
I see you in the sky your blonde hair blue eyes
I need you too don't say a goddam thing

I was the canyon you were a river
Running right through the middle
I'd tell you that I love you if it only holds you down a little
I was an anchor you were a rudder
I won't ever love another
You're the only myth I ever believe sometimes
Goodnight goodnight

I've taken to the wheel just like the bottle
White knuckled and thirsty for the throttle
Windshield time is just the way I want you
A thousand futures not one of the without you

I was the canyon you were a river
Running right through the middle
I'd tell you that I love you if it only holds you down a little
I was an anchor you were a rudder
I won't ever love another
You're the only myth I ever believe sometimes
Goodnight goodnight

I call you from the low lands
I'll try you at your home
No reception in the canyon
You always travel all alone
It just keeps on raining
The waters filling up
The walls of a canyon
Are all I ever was

I was the canyon you were a river
Running right through the middle
I'd tell you that I love you if it only holds you down a little
I was an anchor you were a rudder
I won't ever love another
You're the only myth I ever believe sometimes
Goodnight goodnight
Goodnight goodnight
Goodnight goodnight
Goodnight goodnight
