Song II

Verse 1:
I remember the night you taught me to dance
with the rain in my hair-
giving love another chance.
Then we faced up to mountains-yeah the Appalachians too-
when you came up for me
and I came down with you.

Refrain:
Back when you had your place and I had mine
and we bounced around in a car on the fritz-
we struggled to avoid the poisoned side of love
and vehemently vowed for a wedding day kiss.
Yeah but no matter what-
on a cloud, in a rut-
we asked God if we could live an impossible life.

Verse 2:
We Sisyphused rocks on the job those first weeks
but we had little plans
and unlimited beach.
Floatin' down the basement stairs, our Carolina afternoon
shimmered past the yoga mats
to a lazy '50s tune.

You were my best friend who tried saving my life-
when the waterfall chilled
you were always at my side.
Then the heroes of the story met dragons in themselves
and we looked for a mirror
but instead found a well.

Refrain:
Back when you had your place and I had mine
and we bounced around in a car on the fritz-
we struggled to avoid the poisoned side of love
and vehemently vowed for a wedding day kiss.
Yeah but no matter what-
on a cloud, in a rut-
we asked God if we could live an impossible life.

Bridge:
Hey but now the summer's past-
the sun is leavin' with your heart.
Will crying uncle bring you back?
Is there a way to press re-start?
And go back....

Final refrain:
To where you had your place and I had mine
and we fell in love in a car on the fritz.
I'd promise to avoid the poisoned side of love
and meet you at the alter for a wedding day kiss.
Yeah but no matter what-
on a cloud, in a rut-
I'll ask God if I can live an impossible life.
Yeah no matter what-
though I've come to a rut-
I've asked God if I can live an impossible life.
