about

This song's about a girl from Tennessee and the night she decided that she wasn't going to move back there, but instead was going to stay in Massachusetts.

It was written on a klenex on her floor while she slept. Her cat co-wrote it.

lyrics

In the car you cried on my shoulder
The night we realized you grew older
When we finally figured out this was our town
And you decided that you were not moving back down

I touched your hair
I kissed your cheek
I held you tight
I loved you that night

We had a lighthouse out on the water
A beacon of light to guide us back
You were a southern belle, a southern daughter
I couldn't hold back all those things that I lacked

I touched your hair
I kissed your cheek
I held you tight
I loved you that night

Oh, summer has a way to make distance real
And oh, distance has a way to make broken lovers heal
Another chance once we've both cleared out heads
Another night I could spend asleep in your bed

I touched your hair
I kissed your cheek
I held you tight
I loved you that night
