That Road to You

Текст песни

[Verse 1] Three hours north with the windows cracked You told me your whole life, I told you mine back Somewhere past the county line, I knew I was already falling hard for you We ate lunch where the water met the pines You turned your face and caught the afternoon light Green eyes changed to a summer-blue And I forgot what the rest of the world could do [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Come on, there’s a view up ahead” So I followed every word you said [Chorus] You were a smoke show in my truck on Thursday Sun on your hair, taking my breath away Paddle boards leaning by a mountain view That first kiss made the whole day new Blanket by the lake, your head on my chest Sky turning gold while you let me hold you close If I could live one day all over again I’d take that road to you, my friend [Verse 2] The picnic blanket held the evening still Your laugh rolled soft from the far-off hills You settled in the space beneath my arm And every little second felt like home and calm Then we drove back under a paper-dark sky Talking in the quiet, headlights passing by A wounded owl beside the shoulder line We pulled over, wrapped it up, and called for help in time [Pre-Chorus] You looked at me like we had saved more than a bird Some moments don’t need another word [Chorus] You were a smoke show in my truck on Thursday Sun on your hair, taking my breath away Paddle boards leaning by a mountain view That first kiss made the whole day new Blanket by the lake, your head on my chest Sky turning gold while you let me hold you close If I could live one day all over again I’d take that road to you, my friend [Bridge] And that last goodnight kiss at your door Left me wanting every mile and more The moon was high, the night was cool But I was warm from being there with you [Final Chorus] You were a smoke show in my truck on Thursday Still see your eyes changing in the sunlight haze From the long way out to the mountain view Every turn kept leading me to you Blanket by the lake, your head on my chest One wounded owl and a heart I couldn’t protect If I get one perfect day to choose again I’ll take that road to you, my friend [Outro] Three hours there, one kiss goodnight A whole new story underneath the sky
