From the recording Dear John

Lyrics

I caught a glimpse behind the counter
So this is where I’ll say I found her
The day we met she didn’t say a word

She looks up and I’m a goner
I feel the heat when I don’t wanna
Losing my grip on thoughts she never heard

You say it’s lust - I say it’s deeper
You’re feeling strong
I need you weaker
Gonna wait right here
I don’t wanna roam
Till you make me home

Bicycle spoke caught my shoelace
I took a dive riding to her place
She took me in, put some JP on

We lock eyes through a bandage
I feel a spark, I gotta manage
To turn this sprint into a marathon

You say it’s lust - I say it’s deeper
You’re feeling strong
I need you weaker
Revvin’ me up from zero to full blown
I found a girl I wanna keep her
I wrote it down - read ‘em and weeper
Like a gentle breeze to a full cyclone
Till you make me home

Let’s take it back behind the counter
We’ll tell our kid of that encounter
Watch her laugh, maybe roll her eyes

Through all the doubt
And all the damage
Now we emerge with an advantage
We got a love that ain’t a compromise

You say it’s lust - I say it’s deeper
You’re feeling strong
I need you weaker
She gave it good
Till my mind was blown
I found a girl I wanna keep her
I wrote it down - read ‘em and weeper
Gonna wait right here
I don’t wanna roam
Till you make me home
