In the driveway
We were cleaning out my ashtray
Making jokes like "hell at least I´m still alive"
I could always make you smile without trying

When you smile, well, it always makes me cry

I just keep telling myself
Someday the sun will come shining again
If I can loosen my grip
On the wings of the bird that tells me where to begin
I wanna thank you for loving me when I just don´t know what to say
Well real love makes you feel at home when you´re far away

Rain came down a mile out from Portland
Windshield split we pulled off in the rain
I swear some people are alive and spend their whole lives just surviving

So the ones they love can learn from their mistakes

I just keep telling myself
Someday the sun will come shining again
If I can loosen my grip
On the wings of the bird that tells me where to begin
I wanna thank you for loving me when I just don´t know what to say
Well real love makes you feel at home when you´re far away

Stood out in that Florida heat
Staring at our sandy feet
Oh the color of our blue eyes burned the same
You said ´you can tear down all the walls of all the places you called home´

But you can never walk away from where you came
I just keep telling myself
Oh no
I just keep telling myself
Oh no
