Lyrics

Standing, scared of running
Overcome by a song I hear
I've taken a road less straightened
Am still mistaking what I should feel

Why do you want to weigh me down so hard
In a room that's slowly burning?
Can't you see my soul's on fire, too?
And I know I won't forget you
Or the way you wore your dress
In that August night with her spirit gone too soon

I've kept myself together
Stormy weather makes it real
Feel the storm a-hummin
Hear it comin across the field

Why do you want to tear me down so hard
In a room that's slowly burning?
Can't you see my soul's on fire, too?
And I know I won't forget you
Or the way you wore your dress
In that Summer night with her spirit gone too soon

And in the light of day you feel
What the dark of night makes real

And I can't ever forget
You swarm my mind each time I think about it
Pulling at my weathered soul
Each time I try to sing about it
Take me to that night
Where a lazy Summer moon shines on us
Tell me how the hell that I should feel

And I know I won't forget you
Or the way you wore your dress
Or the promise in her eyes to make it real
The promise in her eyes to make it real
