Ocoee

In a crowded room of fickle friends
My life felt like two bookends
And every story in the middle had led me to tonight
A leather jacket talking off the ear
Of a girl I loved in my sophomore year
And then I hypocritically ask if she remembers my my name
What if I could hold you without feeling this doubt?
Maybe that's what love is all about
Oh Ocoee when you held me in your rushing waters
Tolerate the symptoms of the sins of the father
Something wouldn't let you open up your heart
When I told you I was changing for the better
Every summer feeling older with your lonely loose ends
When you moved to town how everyone was a new kid
Roses down your dress on a wedding weekend
Lovely as you're floating down the river
Thanksgiving you were spoutin' advice
Like don't ever take for granted being alive
Judy knows my secrets just by looking into my eyes
And if you focus on my darkest sides
Well you sell short my signs of light
I am a waiting room magazine you won't need me forever
Isn't being an open book commendable without
everything I've ever thought about?
Oh Ocoee when you held me in your rushing waters
Tolerate the symptoms of the sins of the father
Something wouldn't let you open up your heart
When I told you I was changing for the better
Every summer feeling older with your lonely loose ends
When you moved to town how everyone was a new kid
Roses down your dress on a wedding weekend
Lovely as you're floating down the river
Oh Ocoee when you held me in your rushing waters
Tolerate the symptoms of the sins of the father
Something wouldn't let you open up your heart
When I told you I was changing for the better
Every summer feeling older with your lonely loose ends
When you moved to town how everyone was a new kid
Roses down your dress on a wedding weekend
Lovely as you're floating down the river
Oh Ocoee when you held me in your rushing waters
Tolerate the symptoms of the sins of the father
Something wouldn't let you open up your heart
When I told you I was changing for the better
Every summer feeling older with your lonely loose ends
When you moved to town how everyone was a new kid
Roses down your dress on a wedding weekend
Lovely as you're floating down the river
