Lyrics
She said
I just wanna sit around
Read books, drink lemonade
On the front lawn
'Til the pain's gone
Build a swing under an apple tree
Hide where nobody will find me
Swim to the gravel shore
'Til I don't feel this way anymore
If I leave right now
Maybe I'll find it
Moved too slow
Wasted my time on everything
On everything
If I leave right now
I won't be blinded
Move too fast
I don't have time for anything
For anything
She said
Next four years will things get harder?
Suddenly I'm so much farther
Away from where I've been
How can I get back again?
Phone calls and letters just don't do it
She smiles and I see right through it
Helpless as I am
I'm doing all I can
If I leave right now
Maybe I'll find it
Moved too slow
Wasted my time on everything
On everything
If I leave right now
I won't be blinded
Move too fast
I don't have time for anything
For anything
I swear someday I'll get her there
Where wind sings music in her ear
She'll stand in the summer rain
And feel herself be whole again
I'll take her back and here's the plan
We'll make jars and jars of strawberry jam
When she stands among the fields
She'll have never felt so real, so real
She said
I just wanna sit around
Read books, drink lemonade
On the front lawn
'Til the pain's gone
Build a swing under an apple tree
Hide where nobody will find me
Swim to the gravel shore
'Til I don't feel this way anymore
If I leave right now
Maybe I'll find it
Moved too slow
Wasted my time on everything
On everything
If I leave right now
I won't be blinded
Move too fast
I don't have time for anything
For anything
For reading books and drinking lemonade
We'll sit on the porch 'til the sunset fades
She'll hear me say her name
She'll hear me say her name, her name
