Us

I remember meeting you
On that front porch in June
We were in Indiana
Such a vivid panorama
We went for a ride
You stayed by my side
And you never left
I'll never forget

I thought fourteen years
Would feel like a long, long time but
At least the stars aligned
Our timelines were intertwined

After being alone
I would come home
You would be shining
I couldn't stop smiling
You'd jump in my arms
And quiet the storms
I hated every goodbye
I missed seeing your eyes

I thought fourteen years
Would feel like a long, long time but
At least the stars aligned
Our timelines were intertwined

I miss the sound of your feet on the floor
I never thought about that before
My own symphony, I want more
Where you go flowers grow and I know that is my home

I remember the way
You would stick out your tongue
You always made me smile
At least for a while
I remember the way
You would fluff up your bed
Or curl up beside me
Snoring so lightly

I thought fourteen years
Would feel like a long, long time but
At least the stars aligned
Our timelines were intertwined

I miss the sound of your feet on the floor
I never thought about that before
My own symphony, I want more
Where you go flowers grow and I know that is my home

You're in the rain
But I'm in a drought
I'm feeling too dry
I'm feeling burnt out
You're in the sun
But I just see clouds
You're in the sky
I'm stuck on the ground

Sometimes I wonder if
I made you inside my head
Because you're only there
When I'm asleep in my bed

I miss the sound of your feet on the floor
I never thought about that before
My own symphony, I want more
I just can't let it go
I have reached my plateau
I am stuck, I can't grow
So I know I'll just hope
Where you go flowers grow and I know that is my home
