Fearless
Oh, I remember you
Drivin to my house, in the middle of the night
You wrap around me like a
Chain, a crown, a vine
I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
And you would go and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine
And I can see you years from now in a bar talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but, nobody's listening
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, please don't go
Wait, the more you play the more that you pay
You're softer than a kitten
The rest of the world was black and white
But we were in screaming color
We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical, oh yeah
You were in college, working part-time waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
There's something bout the way
The street looks when it's just rained
This is just a storm inside a teacup
But shelter here with me, my love
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
'Cause I read you should never leave a fight unresolved
That's when you came in wearing a football helmet
Because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
They want that yacht life under chopper blades
They want those bright lights and Balenci shades
Here you are now, calling me up, but I don't know what to say
I been picking up the pieces of the mess you made
You said you never met one girl who had as many James Taylor records as you
But I do
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I've never heard silence quite this loud!
Well, in your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team
I didn't know it at 15
Gallatin Road and the lakeside beach
Watchin the game from your brother's Jeep
See the vultures, circling dark clouds
Love's a fragile little flame, it could burn out
The night we snuck into a yacht club party
Pretending to be a duchess and a prince
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite nightlight
