lyrics

I guess I still don’t know you
But still I’d like to show you
All the visions in my head

It’s never been so hard
To set out on the road

You love me from a far
And make me want to stay back home
And never go


Riding up the coast I’m
Wishing you were close by

So we could do this face to face

You may not believe this
But I’ve never felt it before
I could see us bringing a child into this world

And maybe more


I live in the country
And you live in the town

You make me want to come around

I need to see the stars from out where
Cars don’t make a sound
Can’t bear to hear the highway
I hope we find our common ground


I know we’ll plant a garden
With all the seeds we’re starting

With lots of extra food to share

We both need our families
And friends close to our home
I can see the forest where
All of our kids would roam

I wanna be your somebody


I’ll chop all our wood to burn
Make mediocre furniture
And cook on an open flame

You speak out for justice
And remind me of the same
Though sometimes I’d just rather sing
And work on the land all day


You like things so orderly
And I don’t mind some entropy
There’s something so nice in between

We use different language
In praise of the divine
But we both love the beauty
Around us and inside

I wanna be your somebody
