Lead You Home

I've got your ring
And a moonlit glow
I've got the steering wheel
And miles to go
All these curves
You know, I can't take them slow
But we've got nowhere to go

You've got my hand
And a heart on your sleeve
You change the radio
Like you changed everythin' in me
Every fingertip
You know, it's all that I need
When I don't know who to be

So in this fall faded night
Tell me we'll be alright
Tell me I'm the red & yellow leaves
In all these autumn trees
So in this fog and this wind
Tell me we'll never end
Tell me I'm the moon on road
That leads you back home
Tell me I'll lead you home

These Georgia woods
Have pines for days
We could get lost in the dark
We could make our own maze
In Southern aisles
We could try to find our way
But I'd rather just stay

And in this fall faded night
Tell me we'll be alright
Tell me I'm the red & yellow leaves
In all these autumn trees
So in this fog and this wind
Tell me we'll never end
Tell me I'm the moon on road
That leads you back home
Tell me I'll lead you home

Remember

I remember
The way things used to be
But my dark nights by street lights
Are so long gone

He remembers
The freckles in my eyes
To touch my face, sweep my hair
The sound of my laugh

This can't be some soon to be photos lost in a box
This can't be a overdrawn overexposed lust in life
This is just so much more
And I won't let your memories drown us out
Baby, I won't let them drown you out

I remember
College fall afternoons
The crunch of leaves under boots & trees
Every bit of red

But he remembers
The words to my words
My favorite song about how you did me wrong
And the night we met

This can't be some soon to be photos lost in a box
This can't be a overdrawn overexposed lust in life
This is just so much more
And I won't let your memories drown us out
Baby, I won't let them drown you out

Something about that bar night in my small town
Set me straight, set me stuck on you
I won't get lost in the boxes in my closet
I won't get lost without you

And I won't let their memories drown us out
Baby, I won't let them drown you out

Everything's Alright

The sun is hitting through my blinds
Sifting through piles of white crumpled laundry
Your t-shirts are mixed in mine
And sometimes I swear you're too quick to forget

That job, it pulls you
But I can't stop remembering the night we met
You forget all we do
We've been fighting for this exact moment

And when I hear you say
"Nothings going right,"
I want to run away
Just tell me baby, everything'll be alright

We've made it through my ex-boyfriends and broken hearts
That one fight that almost tore us apart
And the time your pride took you away from me
We've made it through empty bank accounts
And big bills, and every bad rumor we've had to kill
But I know
All this effort just makes me see
Everything's alright when you're next to me

I remember two years ago & before you
When I woke up to every bad day
This is nothing to pain that I once knew
Your eyes now make it all okay

So when you're yelling, so damn frustrated
Can't you see the good in every day?
Our Sunday drives? Our love-filled life?
Tell me you're not runnin' away

I hate to hear you say
"Nothings going right,"
Look out to our whole lives
Just tell me baby, everything'll be alright

We've made it through your ex-girlfriends and broken trust
That one week that almost broke us
And the time my fears almost made me run
We've made it through false friends
And long work weeks, and every cut we've had to mend
But I know
All this effort just makes me see
Everything's alright when you're next to me
