Lyrics for The Book Of You
Everybody's making plans for tomorrow The sun could turn to sand but I just Ought to take you back in time I'll draw the line And I would write a different story A new final act I don't need the drama but I would never write you out Everyone's a thread we're woven together Pleated in to tears and fraying edges Read the book of you The book of me We're fading in to memory But something is left A gesture a phrase or a photograph To open with We're always walking in the rain And you're just trouble, so I claim Pretend the world can see That I'm the one for you And you're the one for me Father tell if you could change with the weather Faith would just evaporate Untethered in a fresh disguise I'll catch your eye And see behind the mask and find you Never with fault But that's not the last time I've thought about The way we are We're always walking in the rain And you're just trouble, so I claim Pretend the world can see That I'm the one for you And you're the one for me We're always walking in the rain And you're just trouble, so I claim Pretend the world can see That I'm the one for you And you're the one for me We're always walking in the rain And you're just trouble, so I claim Pretend the world can see That I'm the one for you And you're the one for me
