You'll never know that when I want to feel your presence, I wear the shirt that reminds me of you
The one I carry around the world like a child's blanket

And I wish you could hear every song like I hear it, whatever you are doing
where you are the "you" and the rhythm puts you back into my head like we never skipped a beat
We are back in the mountains, but not just any
My favorite mountains
I want to show you inside and out how much energy you give me
when I sneak a thought during the day, and let it linger on my tongue
and close my eyes and smile deeply,
a secret for me, a break from the unromantic world

I've gotten so good at pretending, but everyone in the room knows I'm not there
they look at me because they can recognize the face of a young girl daydreaming
I'm with you, we are in the river, running alongside, falling into eachother's arms
and staying there
staying right there

And today is one of those days thats going to be harder to carry the weight around
It's tiring work, barebacked in the sun, heavy clothing in the rain
but if it means I get to keep you, I'll do it for no pay
every day

These new people can't figure me out because I wont let them
they'll never know to what extent
I am

Thank you for nothing but these dreams
And listen closely some nights, you'll hear me singing to you
you'll feel it
don't forget about me
