Our First Love Song

Emerald eyes, sandy hair
Blowing around in the autumn air
Just one touch and I'm all yours
But you keep your love in a wooden box behind a broken door

You laugh and you talk like we just met
But you look at me like a long lost friend
Take a step, I'll follow suit
Even if this plane is going down and I've got no parachute

Because me and you go back
Farther than I've been keeping track
Back to when a breath of life
Made this world anew my hands were yours
To hold through the dark, through the cold
You followed me as I walked along
To the beat of our first love song

Redwood lady, what do you fear
Spin up a story and whisper it in my ear
In my dreams, I'm holding you 'round the waist
Better wake up before I feel you pulling away
I'm afraid every kiss you throw at me is tearing at my brain
Crooked roads in a fractured window pane
It's coming undone, I'm coming undone

Those emerald eyes still call my name
Your sandy hair drives me insane
I wish I could be your Superman in this jaded game
But love's got to wait to come around
Oh love's got to wait to come around
Just hear me out

You're the one who goes back
Farther than I've been keeping track
Back to when a breath of life
Made this world anew, my hands were yours
To hold through the dark, through the cold
You followed me as I walked along
To the beat of our first love song
