lyrics

Paint me a picture
And sign with your name
It'll pay off my mortgage one day

You might not see it
I know what you're worth
And I pray to God you never change

Write me a poem
Of something you love
With the big words you learned back in school

I promise I'll read it
But not that I'll get it
See, I'm a bit simpler than you

Oh the way you make me smile
Put your suitcases down, won't you stay for a while?
I'll do my best to make this real
I'm trying, I swear, but it's hardest to feel

Down by the river
I swallowed my heart
And the space made it easier to breathe

Now when I miss you
My stomach goes wild
The pain brings me down to my knees

So maybe it's best if
We leave this for now
Put aside like an old recipe

We might still crave it
Of course I still crave it
We're just not who we used to be

Oh the way you make me smile
Put your suitcases down, won't you stay for a while?
I'll do my best to make this real
I'm trying, I swear, but it's hardest to feel

I'm trying, I swear, but it's hardest to feel
I'm trying, I swear, but it's hardest to feel

Please don't leave
You're the only one I need

Oh the way you make me smile
Put your suitcases down, won't you stay for a while?
I'll do my best to make this real
I'm trying, I swear, but it's hardest to feel

I'm trying, I swear, but it's hardest to feel
I'm trying, I swear, but it's hardest to feel
