Somewhere Adjacent

I was young and a bachelor
I started looking for answers
When you traveled to meet me
And we talked like two dancers
Ducking somewhere adjacent
Then the rain hit

You sat at the table
You were looking right at me
Before I burned any candles
Or even made you so happy
And the thunder seemed calculated
To keep us in

And I stood where the lightening hit
I've noticed the gold in this
Never been quite the same man since
I've noticed the gold in this

I said we'll die when we're older
If we don't die from insistence
Me, probably hunched over
You, hopefully christain
And you'll get into heaven
And finally let yourself go

And then we picked up some peaches
Somewhere deep in Virginia
We were off to the beaches
Where the sun tried to kill us
And I muttered to you "you're the truest thing I've ever known"

I stood where the lightening hit
I've noticed the gold in this
Never been quite the same man since
I've noticed the gold in this

I still burn for you baby
Somewhere deep in the water
You're still somewhere adjacent
In the eyes of your daughters
In your plans for this city
In the church that needs painting
In the glass on the table
In the ways that you changed me
I'm still looking for answers
Until I find out you fixed me
And that rose from my garden
Was just to get you to kiss me
You're all over this city
You're all over this city
