lyrics

It's not the words to the song.
It's how it's in my favorite key.
It's how the water over stone
Makes the river sing.

You wrote a nine page love letter
But baby, here's the thing:
When I saw it was written in my favorite color,
I knew you were the one for me.

Sometimes late at night,
I converse with the moon.
He tells me about the sun
And I tell him 'bout you.

And when we talk about forever,
It seems too short; too soon.
And all the great loves we remember
Had a storm to get thru.

You were waiting so long,
You said, “I thought you forgot.”
I said, “I can't forget thru the loneliness
I feel when you're gone.”

It's not the words to the song.
It's how I feel you in the beat.
How our heart strings ring out loud
In harmony.

And all we can know
Is how we feel.
It's a short stick,
And typical of a raw deal.

And when it's good it will show;
It will help us heal.
Oh, the deeper you go, the deeper I know
I can still feel.
