When I win you over We'll count the flowers growing in the yard And if I call you sober Would you forgive for all the times I fell apart? The light has gotten dimmer The longer I investigate the cause Said I'd always love you You said you're moving out, you're moving on
I kept holding onto you Like the widow to the grave And I know there's nothing left for me to save But I'm stayin' awake Anyway
And when we get much older We'll remember why we're better than the rest Your head atop my shoulder Watching while the colors paint the west You'll be reading Whitman While I collect the leaves from off the grass Hard to say you left me Easier to say that nothing lasts
I kept holding on to you Like the blood against the blade And I know there's nothing left for me to save But I'm stayin' awake Anyway
Say you know And I will lead you home And when I win you over We'll count the flowers growing in the yard
