A small yet endless stopover town
I’ve been there a hundred times or so
It has new meaning now, though
Now what I see is you and me
It’s all big smiles and soft tears
And feelings we haven’t felt in years
It’s the McDonald’s parking lot
The old bowling alley and bar
Driving aimlessly in my car
It’s the pain of my heart breaking
While simultaneously healing
And every repressed feeling
It’s the jolt of electricity when you touch my leg
And when you lay your head in my lap
And squeeze my hand
It’s the sound of your voice
So foreign to hear “I love you”
Yet so familiar, I say it, too
It’s all the stories I missed
And all the questions we have
All the good things and all the bad
It’s so strange how it feels like it’s been forever
And how we thought we’d never call
But also like no time has passed at all
I won’t forget just taking you all in
And how my breath hitched when you said “hi”
And how hard it was to say “goodbye”
It’s still just a small yet endless stopover town
But it’ll never be the same to me
Because now it holds your memory
