lyrics

I was a young dumb kid who liked to hit the bottle
I was all wrapped up in living for tomorrow
couldn't wait one day I'd make it out of town

You were a cute shy girl in one of my classes
used to joke around till you ditched them glasses
I remember now I couldn't help myself

But as time got older you went off and married
in a twist of fate it's the luggage I carried I put on myself
you're all I thought about

Because you're a dream worth having in the night
the thought of you it burns so badly
must've been all the trouble that you put me through

When you come you're surrounded by the light
take me out like a rogue wave breaking
on my door when you threw it all against the wall

I spent too much time feeling sorry in a far off land
I let my fingertips carry what I told you then
I'm glad you wrote me back

You were doing fine things were complicated
crooked lines running straight to your heart
I couldn't make them bend but I was following

And when I touched your face the high was scary
I felt so alive in an avalanche buried on the other side
you let it slip away

But you're a dream worth having in the night
the thought of you it burns so badly
must've been all the trouble that you put me through

When you come you're surrounded by the light
take me out like a rogue wave breaking
on my door when you threw it all against the wall
