You + I

A covered bridge
Somewhere in
The middle of nowhere
Can you picture this
You and I
You and I
You and I

That shade of red
You only get
From weathering
The elements
Can you picture this
You and I
You and I
You and I

Some sunny summer morning
We pack the car
with lunch and a paper map
We laugh and we laugh and we laugh
and it feels like running away
Even just for a day, I would take that
Once we're close
We start walking
It's the first moment
We're not talking
We always have
So much to say
And so little time
You and I
You and I
You and I

Quaking Aspen
Overhead
Around the bend
A wooden fence
Can you picture this
You and I
You and I
You and I

Up this close
It's smaller than
I would have guessed
You take my hand
We step on in
You and I
You and I
You and I

The darkness offers some relief
From the July heat
You say something sweet
There's an echo and
We laugh and we laugh and we laugh
And it feels like
maybe we've escaped
Even just for a day, I would take that
I press my body to your chest
Your back against the wood
You rest your chin on top my head
And life is good
This is good

We always have so much to do
And so little time
You and I
You and I
You and I

I whisper
Baby, we could stay
Let's cross our fingers
Pray for rain
And my refrain is
You and I
You and I
You and I

We go back
The way we came
The trees, the fence
Look the same
Still we have changed
You and I
You and I
You and I
Can you picture this?
You and I
You and I
You and I
