Lyrics

Grand Junction

I remember you so vividly
Feeding me an apple like you were my eve
In our own garden of Eden we
Both knew by morning we’d be kicked out

That bruise on your chin from the night before
You told me you drank too much and you fell to the floor
Tonight wasn’t too much different girl
I was just there to break your fall

I leave with nothing but my songs
Letting go is just as noble as holding on

Had we not been so well behaved
We could have made that sweet mistake
Made love like it ain’t never been made
Like we were giving birth to the sun

But it ended up as it did / Just one interrupted kiss
And then you with your adorable lisp
Telling me that I was strong
I leave with nothing but my songs…

This winter too shall fade / The green always rises up again
I hope the snow angels that we made
Melt down naked into the grass

I hope you don’t forget about me / And how I sang you to sleep
For I was just a tumbleweed / That rolled through your Saturday
And left with nothing but my songs…
