lyrics

Shout my name into the wind and see how far it flows.
Lace my scent into your skin, tell me what you think God knows.
Forget the times your simple rhymes
All failed to aid the uphill climbs
And trust that rhythm singing in your toes.

Saw the news today, but kept my spirits high.
Stopped to kneel and pray, but felt the spirit fly by.
Guess I'm on my own, no matter how hard I try.

But you don't need to find home to lead a fruitful life.
I don't need to be your husband.
You don't need to be my wife.
What we're gonna do
And all I'll ask of you
Is you and you and you
With me.

I remember hot nights, dancing on rooftops and peering down.
Late september with cold sights,
Striking up matchtops to light the town.
Tell me how the here-and-now could make you break a calloused vow
And toss it in misfit lost-and-found.
Well, so be it. Crush my heart and free it.
Just listen to that hopeful sound.

Well did I treat you right?
Or was it all in my head?
Did we need to fight?
Or was it better left unsaid?
Thought I'd sealed my fate with a kiss but now the Miss is gone.

And I'm movin' on.
