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
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
