[First verse]
It's hard to remember
The last time I was with you
That one cold September
We were caught up in the blues
Don't know where to start it
The image has departed
But I got a feeling
Got a feeling where it might go
With your heart of snow
[Hook]
And I can't change
It's all that I have
The thought just hurts my brain
How I met you in the past
And through all of this wind
I never knew we'd crash
But like all of those letters
We ain't perfect but we ain't trash
[Chorus]
And I found love
In the darkest town I could be in
Where the lights shut off at 6PM
And you wouldn't be there
And I found pain
At the brightest time I know
And your eyes would always glow
When mine were concrete shadows
[Verse 2]
I used to be a kid too scared to ask a girl to dance
Confused by hips and what location I could put my hands
Infatuated by the time, place, and circumstance
I found my happiness the night that you gave me a chance
I fell in love the first time I looked at your brown eyes
The first time our lips touched felt like paradise
We were sitting in silence when we touched thighs
Motions overcame my words I had to improvise
Too late to go back and way too late to retry
Your Midas touch had my whole body paralyzed
Your smile got me thinking 'bout you all day
But shit I loved you girl, what can I say?
I know our schedule is hard with you in college
And you're pursuing your dream and gaining knowledge
You're a woman of strength, a woman of power
And because of that I'm thinking about you every hour
[Chorus]
And I found love
In the darkest town I could be in
Where the lights shut off at 6PM
And you wouldn't be there
And I found pain
At the brightest time I know
And your eyes would always glow
When mine were concrete shadows
[Verse 3]
But I think every day how we helped each other
Get through all the mess
Of this world that we had been through
So why, why should we end things here
And in truth I'm right here
Writing her this little love song
In big hopes I can do right on my do-wrongs
She taught me that an 8-hour flight ain't too long
If it's to get to her
[Hook]
And I can't change
It's all that I have
The thought just hurts my brain
How I met you in the past
And through all of this wind
I never knew we'd crash
But like all of those letters
We ain't perfect but we ain't trash
