Lincoln Layla

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember the first small conversation By the window where the afternoon turned gold You laughed at my nervous explanation And somehow made a crowded room feel slow [Pre-Chorus] I went home carrying your name Like a secret I was glad to keep Then every ordinary day Started leaning your way for me [Chorus] Lincoln Layla, you changed the shape of my days Put a little courage in the words I couldn't say I was standing still, then you took my hand Now I understand what falling in love can mean Lincoln Layla, you're the place my heart wants to be [Verse 2] It was coffee cooling on the kitchen table Your old jacket hanging by the door We talked until the sky became unstable And I didn't want the evening anymore [Pre-Chorus] You noticed every quiet part The doubts I tried to hide away And with your patient, fearless heart You taught them how to loosen their hold on me [Chorus] Lincoln Layla, you changed the shape of my days Put a little courage in the words I couldn't say I was standing still, then you took my hand Now I understand what falling in love can mean Lincoln Layla, you're the place my heart wants to be [Bridge] If I could return to that first hello I'd still walk over, I'd still let it show No perfect plan, no grand design Just your eyes meeting mine [Final Chorus] Lincoln Layla, you changed the shape of my days Put a little courage in the words I couldn't say I was standing still, then you took my hand Now I understand what falling in love can mean Lincoln Layla, every road leads back to you Lincoln Layla, I'm so glad I found you [Outro] Lincoln Layla, my heart knows what to do
