Mountaintop

I glued back together the broken pieces of a vase you found Out back of some old abandoned church in a town I don't remember the name In the middle of May when you came to meet my family And we wrecked blueberries into buckets, and I drove reckless in the rain

And it wasn't the slightest bit romantic I guess that's what makes it so I can say how much you mean to me

Up on a mountaintop Down by the dark blue sea I can see how much you mean to me Open my mouth to talk But I can hardly speak I can't say

Sitting on a window, a bluebird on it, nothing in it There's a piece we never found But I think that's what makes it perfect

And so to put it into words I can't put into words No, I can't put it into words I can't say it, how much you mean to me

Up on a mountaintop Down by the dark blue sea I can see how much you mean to me Open my mouth to talk But I can hardly speak I can't say

There's something in your eyes A secret I must keep I can't say how much you mean to me Like trying to describe impossibility I can't say

Some might say "euphoric" No, there's really no words for it When a smile grows across your face Like pieces of a broken vase Everything falls into place

Up on a mountaintop Down by the dark blue sea I can see how much you mean to me Open my mouth to talk But I can hardly speak I can't say

There's something in your eyes A secret I must keep I can't say how much you mean to me Like trying to describe impossibility I can't say
