The Drive Home

Hot tea is like a remedy for the soul
It moves through me like the tennessee trees in a storm
Willingly, i let the wind encompass me
This is as young as i will ever be

I'm finding that there's therapy in poetry
There are beautiful things that no one's even noticing
Every line--so perfectly designed
To warm the marrow in our bones

I will follow you into the moonlight
And i'll exchange your thoughts with mine
As the beauty of the night unfolds
We embrace the ocean before we go
And fall asleep in our evening-stained clothes

I do believe i am changing as a whole
I'm an entirely different human than before
Actually, i'm happy that it's happening
This is as young as i will ever be

It seems as if you were born inside a melody
Darlin' i'm humming along as it's wrestling inside of me
If i could quote every single note
It is my skull that would be at peace

I will follow you into the moonlight
And i'll exchange your thoughts with mine
As the beauty of the night unfolds
We embrace the ocean before we go
And fall asleep in our evening-stained clothes

We are so damn young and captivated by the sun
So well reminded of the wars that we have won
We have such weak lungs, there's no doubt we'll be outrun
So let's remain wonderful until that day comes

I will follow you into the moonlight
And i'll exchange your thoughts with mine
As the beauty of the night unfolds
We embrace the ocean before we go
And fall asleep in our evening-stained clothes
