THINGS I LOVE ABOUT YOU

I remember the view from this beat up old couch
The hard light as it streamed in
Music floated like dust in the sunbeams right out to the hall
There’s a long list of things that I learned about you
In our makeshift lover’s retreat
I knew when we left I wanted to remember them all

It might be too good to be true
How can one man deserve all the good things you are
Who knew it’d be worth it to travel so far
I want to be good for you too
So many things I love, I love about you

When I played my guitar you sang with me
Even though you thought you’re no good
And you cried every time that I played you your favorite Prine tunes
We sent notes to each other that I keep in a book
But mere words were never enough
I’ve got the lines that you wrote on my skin on those afternoons

It might be too good to be true
How can one man deserve all the good things you are
Who knew it’d be worth it to travel so far
I want to be good for you too
So many things I love, I love about you

Back on this couch you’re wrapped up in my arms
As we go over things that we missed
Memories pile up like a driveway blown in by the snow
As the soft glowing embers of longing ignite
The universe shrinks as we kiss
Two lonely dreamers who know what we know what we know
For now let’s let it all go

So many things I love, I love about you
So many things I love, I love about you
So many things I love, I love about you
