lyrics

Sun beating down on a January afternoon,
The day is almost done and I’ll be with you soon,
Our house is a mess and the rent feels always due,
But I’m enjoying my new adventure here with you

Well I’ve outgrown these silly woes,
And this constant sense of undertow,
I long to be within your arms,
Cause there’s nowhere I feel further from harm

This shirt clings to my back drenched from the heat,
Mistakes from my past I’ve tried not to repeat,
Rear their ugly heads as both our hearts beat,
Challenges arise but I will not accept defeat

How I hate the days,
When I feel so far away,
Please don’t let me stray,
I just need you to stay

Every day there’s dirty dishes piled in the sink,
Waiting to be cleaned as the sun begins to sink,
Another day passed and I can’t help but think,
That time with you is better than another lonely drink
