lyrics

Do you remember when
life was a spiral-bound, we were the pen?
Before wishin’ we woulda used lead
I thought of you, drove by the spot on the street
on the way to the school bus where we used to meet
and I lost my breath, just like when we were late and we were runnin’

I wanna go back to the post office,
sort through the thrown away mail
Back when we'd climb up on the roof of
the old town jail
Back when we smiled we were beamin’,
and when we cried we wailed

I wanna be the bird on the wire
so many things I forgot to admire
that to God was worth savin’
Time doesn’t whistle or rattle the tracks
and you don't hear it coming or see when it passes
and the ones it takes
won't be window-seat wavin’

I wanna sit by you on the bench of your truck,
drive out the old 58
Back when we'd listen to Hank Williams
and stare at the stars too late
Back when we smiled we were dreamin’,
and when we cried we wailed

I wanna meet you at the school after dark,
let you push me on the swing
Back when I thought you'd be the one to
save up and buy me a ring
Ya back when we smiled we were feelin’,
Yeah, back when we smiled we were beamin’,
and when we cried we wailed

When I saw her perform last year she said something along the lines of, "ever make a song so good you have to perform it for the rest of your life? Don't worry, I like this song." She proceeded to perform Chance and that is without a doubt the best one, runner-up to Spring 🌆📯🐗 Sinnamon Ghost Crunch
