Headed home in the backseat of your new to you SUV
only 15 miles until home not wasting gas on the AC
Paused my CD player just to listen to the wind
On the radio's a country song, arm out the window you're singing
It could be all the white noise but you don't have a bad voice
I wonder if you'da gone far if it wasn't for us boys
8 states away with a fake stage name just to keep some privacy
In that life I don't exist but I wonder if you'd think of me
I've only seen the side of you that told me to behave
I wish he could see the time he wasted and the time that you gave
I know that life is just a string with pins all clipped across
Representing experiences gained or experience lost
But you my dear are the pin that holds me up against the wall
And at the other end is a woman who makes me feel 10 feet tall
To every question she's the answer, yes or no true or false
My every will, my every way, the purpose for my pulse
Our lives are just the results of circumstance
Our minds are symphonies, our hearts just here to dance
With you I'll be dancing hand in hand
We'll always been dancing hand in hand
So when you feel small
Look to me see what came from that pile of pieces without instructions
And when you feel weak
Don't. Give. Up.
So when you feel lonely
Look for me and find that without you I cannot function
And when the going gets tough
Don't. Let. Go.
