lyrics

We were playing in the backyard
That's all my mind can see
An orphaned strand left dangling
Somewhere deep inside of me

I saw you ten years later
Ripe age of fifteen
And decided that I loved you
There must be something wrong with me

But I remember that I love you
And that's good enough for me
No part of my thinking
Is immune to memory

I made up all new reasons
Dreamed up all new dreams
But I remember that I love you
And that's good enough for me

Well I'll be damned
Here I am
In your lap

But now miles and miles of highway
Are all these eyes can see
And the girl who lies there bleeding
Just as you are healing me

But be you far across the country
Or I buried 'neath debris
I'll remember that I love you
And that'll be good enough

Cause who am I to question
The way things have to be?
Who am I to keep you
When you're meant to be free?

Who am I? I don't know
It's always baffled me
But I'll remember that you love me
And that'll be something at least

Well I'll be damned
Here I am
In your lap

And oh my stars
Here you are
In my arms

I'll remember, will you remember
that I want you even now that it's real?

Still I miss the aimless hoping
And escaping into dreams
Of better times approaching
With some new reality

Where we're playing in the backyard
Careless and carefree
And in the dream there is no leaving
And no company

Well I'll be damned
Here I am
In your lap

And oh my stars
Here you are
In my arms
Take this heart
Cause it's yours
Even now that it's real
