When I Face into the Wind

We paint at the S Bridge in the summer of '17
Underneath an August moon
Dangling our feet
And you tell me that you're hurting
And I tell you you can't leave
On the S Bridge in the summer of '17

The freight trains go rushing underneath
When I face into the wind
It feels like they're coming right at me
And I tell you that I'd save you
You tell me that you'd save me
On the S Bridge in the summer of '17

At the school house on North Allen Chapel Road
Left abandoned to the ivy
We break in from below
I boost you through the floorboards
You paint flowers in the cold
At the school house on North Allen Chapel Road

There on Christmas in the soft cover of snow
Hung bouquets from the piping
Baby's breath and rose
And I tell you that I love you
But I bet you already know
At the school house on North Allen Chapel Road

Got our own place at Canterbury Green
The bathtub's way too small
But the two of us still squeeze
Hung the roses in the bedroom
Drank a bottle of JD
At our own place at Canterbury Green

When we first learned that you were meant to be
Skipped classes for the doctors
Got tattoos we couldn't see
Named you Willow when we met you
And we knew we were complete
From the S Bridge in the summer of '17
