Madison

Madison was a dreamer
Hooked-deep, firm believer for all the finer things in life
Not the money or the riches, lotto tickets
Gets her kicks on the rocks with a planner
For keepin' in line
Had her whole life set right before her
'Til the past turned up and took her feelin' away
Come on baby it's a bump in the road
And nothin' you did would've changed

She set off quick
Dream college, spends her first year cryin'
'Bout the things that she can't control
Had to learn resurgence
From the fire that was burnin'
All the hard work that done
Dented her soul
It's a hard truth learning to let go
But she stepped up big
But now she's sleepin' alone
Time to take a little rest from the problem
Grip tight on the side you show

Meanwhile I was broken
Did some copin' with a bottle band
To keep me on my feet
How ironic, gin and tonic struck me down
To the bottom more times than I'd like to admit
Had some good buddies pull me above ground
But, alas, I knew
That I was slippin' away
'Til I saw that angel walking, behold her
Caused a heart standstill
Alleviating the pain

Couple months fly by
Not a word, just the sight
Gettin' on with glancing over the surface
Will it all work out?
Passive to keep you around
Not to scare you, falsify it with warnings
Then you shot me a note quick after we talked
Sittin' late with the stars now shaking
Take it back and fall asleep on the sofa
Now my head can't stop man
Stop me from thinkin'

Just one more kiss
Just one more night
When the world is so far gone
When you take my hand
And I see your eyes
All my dark days found its worth
It's a long road back
It's a tough road back
When the lights finally come back on
But when they spark my love
I will never leave you alone
