You And Me

Set my alarm clock every
Saturday morning
Make my way downstairs
Set up camp at the kitchen table
Till you’d find me there
And you’d say
Can’t you sleep kid
And I’d say I’ve got
Too much on my mind
You’d laugh and say
I know how that goes
Why don’t we go cast a line

John Denver in a Dodge pickup
Driving into the sunrise
Misty eyed talking about West Virginia
The tears always took you by surprise
I might have been
Too young for your reveries
But those are my favorite memories
Riding shotgun picking your brain
On the way to the pond

When it was you and me
Against the world
You and me against the world
I’ll always be your girl
It’s you and me

My senior year I won
Homecoming queen
And you led me out on that field
Wearing a pretty dress
For my proudest moment
You looked disappointed in me
You said
You’re too smart for this bullshit
Come on do something real
With your life
And I swore in that moment
I’d never again waste your time

‘Cause I want you and me
Against the world
You and me against the world
I’ll always be your girl
It’s you and me

No he’s not who I saw coming
But he loves me so well
Your misty eyes led me
Down the aisle
Said all the things you couldn’t tell
I know you did the best that you could
And that don’t always mean it was good
But I know you love me fiercely in your way

And it was you and me against the world
You and me against the world
I’ll always be your girl
It’s you and me

Nowadays you might scream at a TV
Sparring with talking heads
And we brush off the occasional comment
And wish you weren’t quite so honest
You fear the world’s moved on without you
That your castle’s crumbling down
But in every step that I take
I will carry your crown

Because it’s you and me against the world
You and me against the world
I’m still your girl
It’s you and me

YOU AND ME

Winning
