Watermarks
You’ve come to borrow
All of the records
Holding together
Past Julys
I’m starting to notice
Handprints embedded
Into this haze of Blue Ridge nights
Running barefoot and I
Still remember the backroads
Summer on the line
Wind the cord, hit the dial tone
Oh, I’ve been thinking
More about that world that I
Used to call home, that I can’t unknow
You’ll see the watermarks still left from this place
Outlines that mark somewhere I love and reminisce about
And now we’re looking back, how everything changed
The paved road we’re walking on is one I once
Kicked gravel down
Flip to the b-side
Tapes that we rewind
Under the tree lines
Of Back Bay
Yeah, I’ll show you the moments
Playback the footage
From those years that mapped my way
Running barefoot and I
Still remember the backroads
Summer on the line
Wind the cord, hit the dial tone
Oh, I’ve been thinking
More about that world that I
Used to call home, that I can’t unknow
You’ll see the watermarks still left from this place
Outlines that mark somewhere I love and reminisce about
And now we’re looking back, how everything changed
The paved road we’re walking on is one I once
Kicked gravel down
And I wouldn’t want to
Be back here with anyone else
Only with you
Rewriting these burned discs
The only love language I knew, oh
It’s hard to define what
Became just a sign of my life
But now it’s new
‘Cause where I call home is
Wherever I land with you, oh
You’ll see the watermarks still left from this place
Outlines that mark somewhere I love and reminisce about
And now we’re looking back, how everything changed
The paved road we’re walking on is one I once
Kicked gravel down
It's one I once kicked gravel down
Far from the world that made me now
it's one I once kicked gravel down
Far from the world that made me now
