Lyrics

the feeling of sunrise, on thanksgiving day
the times when i’ve failed, as i was walking away
memories so strong, but it’s so hard to say
the right things, at the right time

the last melting snow, with the first spring day’s shine
hearing her laughter, and knowing she’s mine
the sweet ache inside as i watch that sunset
and i’m searching for words that they haven’t made yet

driving the backroads, slowly through my hometown
when the tough job’s been finished, that last look around
these moments they pass, and i just never found
the right words, at the right time

the last chapter read slow, as i savor the end
the secret glance shared, with my oldest friend
the campfire burning down inside my chest
and i’m searching for words that they haven’t made yet

her breath on my skin when our love has been spent
the money’s all gone, we’re not sure where it went
all the love that i’ve known mixed with all my regrets

no plans to wake up to, as i drift off to sleep
the first autumn leaves crackling under my feet
laughing out loud, with someone i meet
in the right place, at the right time

the shake of the hands, before the battle begins
the loosening of my shoulders, a half a glass in
the rush down my spine as i’m placing my bet
and i’m searching for words that they haven’t made yet

looking back through it, hasn’t time flown
remembering that last hang and wishing i’d known
the smell of mom’s kitchen, all the good folks i’ve met
the feel of my daughter asleep on my chest
holding on to these moments before i forget
and i’m searching for words that they haven't made yet
