Downer Avenue

Waiting, watching fireworks shine overhead
Thoughts circling around myself again
But I still can't get my mind off
This understanding we have

And I know it changed this time
We've shed former insecurities
Because they're yours and they're mine
Remember thinking I was prone to disappointment

We've crossed that line
If I were me I'd think she'd think me crazy
To hear that I only want to hold her hand
For the rest of all my life

And I'm so proud to know you think
The same of me and I make you smile
Understatements like I love you
Always work well but not this time

So I just wanted you to know
Just how much you've changed me
And every time I hold your hand
I've lost these fingertips in your hair

I've always yearned to look
In shining eyes and see myself
Staring right back in my direction
Just promise you'll meet me there
