Your hand on my thigh as we fall asleep
In the morning light
Darlin you’re next to me
Darlin’ you’re next to me

Sunlight streams in and we start the day
All I wanted was forever this way
Oh forever this way

We spend the day at your parents’ house
Planting wildflowers ‘til the sun goes down
‘Til the sun goes down

And pickin’ strawberries with your niece in tow
And tending apple trees on the land you love
On the land you love

And oh, that sweet Parker River
We could spend all day
Side by side on the water
So red right return to me

Out on the water or anywhere with you
I wanted a lifetime with darlin’ you next to me
Darlin’ you next to me

Now everyday I see your face
In my head darlin’ a tortured place
Darlin’ a tortured place

So red right return darlin’
Red right return to me
Red right return darlin’
Red right return to me

I wanted a lifetime with
Darlin’ you next to me
Darlin’ you next to me
Darlin’ you next to me
Darlin’ you next to me

I tried my best to find
Someone I could satisfy
Oh and I been lookin’ high and low
For my piece of the puzzle

Weighin’ on the corners of my mind
Oh I been patient
And you been hard to find

Oh you took me by surprise
In the depths of wintertime darlin’
You brought the sunlight
And we started off slow
Long walks in the cold
Watchin’ the moon rise
Sittin’ by the fireside, yeah

Oh I thought this could be it
I found my corner fit
But when you’re miles away
Days they shift to gray
And you been driftin’ this whole time
But don’t cast off the line
The days are brighter
With you by my side

Oh I been patient
And you been hard to find
Yeah I been waitin’
And you been on my mind

Oh I can’t just say goodbye
Been a waste of time
Waitin’ on the day
When you return to me
And you think that this is it
Time to up and quit
Why can’t you see the way
Your life would thrive with me

Oh I been patient
And you been hard to find
Yeah I been waitin’
And you been on my mind

Parked cars and dim lights
I watch you watch me singin’ slowly
Shorter days, the snow blurs my window pane
And I don’t see you coming

I’ll find an eraser and I’ll erase her
From your life, back to the summertime
When we first met and we’ll begin again
Oh we’ll begin again

Don’t stop now, we’re too far
Don’t stop now, we’re too far
I wanna fall with you, oh rise with you
Yeah I can see the light

I wish you’d leave only after the sunrise
Keep my bed warm til the mornin’ light
‘Cause I’m not running
No, I’m not running

Don’t stop now, we’re too far
Don’t stop now, we’re too far
I wanna fall with you, oh rise

Don’t stop now, we’re too far
Don’t stop now, we’re too far
I wanna fall with you, rise with you
Yeah, I can see the light
Oh, I can see the light

Is it a lost cause or a sure thing
Is it a heartache or a diamond ring
Maybe a daydream could be the real thing
With a bluebird sky and endless time
Oh it’s a crap shoot
I’m tryin’ to tell you                                  
I’ll hold the line

I got a tight grip, you got a loose fist
You’re slow and steady, I just wanna sprint    
Stayin’, stallin’,  holdin’, fallin’
Down to the baseline, could you be all mine
I’ll hold the line

Is it a hard pill or a cheap thrill
Somethin’ forever or just one night to kill
Yeah you could lie to me, and say you wanna see
Me in the mornin’ or every day this week
But I could see through this little preview
I’ll hold the line

Oh at daybreak or at midnight
No tellin’ where or when
Just gimme gimme gimme good light
Mmm everytime
‘Cause I believe you, are wantin’ me too
I’ll hold the line
Oh I believe you, are wantin’ me too
I’ll hold the line

Oh the day comes and the sun’s up
I hear the birds sing, to the love they got
Joyful, dawn breaks                   
Awake to find the one beside
That we long for 
Heart’s an open door
I’ll hold the line

Oh the night comes and the moon is high
I walk, and I wish to the sky 
That you feel it, I can feel it             
Awake to find the one beside that we long for 
Heart’s an open door
I’ll hold the line

The one that we long for 
Heart’s an open door
I’ll hold the line

The one that we long for 
Heart’s an open door
I’ll hold the line
