New Orleans

[Verse]
1,524 miles, 3 hours 35 minutes — girl, I’m coming to you
Feel my stomach turning from excitement on this flight
I been waiting all summer for you years ago was running from you
Look at us, who would’ve known we would’ve lasted?
No I ain’t no fortune teller
But I bet if you had asked me ‘bout 5 years ago if I would be here right now
I’d say there ain’t a doubt inside my mind and I’d be happy
It don’t matter where you at I would’ve drove across the map
I would’ve dove into the ocean, swam across like it’s a lap
I would’ve hopped into a time machine forget about the past
I’m coming for a week feel like a year the way it lasts
Cause every time we look inside each other’s weary eyes
I see my whole future with you sitting on my lap
Kids playing in the backyard and matching yoga matts
It feels so real it makes me laugh (Yo, you corny as hell!)
So now this plane just landed I’m waiting for the bus, feet shaking where I’m staying
I puy my 2 dollars in and say, “I’m on my way”
You say you making pasta I say, “That’s okay, do I need to grab some wine?”
You said, “No, baby, it’s fine”
She likes her red on ice to keep it frozen like the time when we’re together
I’m like two stops away I gotta get my shit together
Swear our love has been heating up and it could melt inside this weather, wow
There she is in the flesh
Give you a kiss your body fits perfectly into my chest
I know this love ain’t perfect but it still feels the best
And I could give a deep description but history’s the rest, you see
We cook food, catch up, make love
Hash it out, take showers, take drugs
Fall apart, find peace, patch it up
Shed tears, matching tats — that’s so us
This world is not what it seems
But through every single war you still the girl of my dreams
And I know everything will work out if I let go
Let you be free be the person that you need to be
I know the growth’s in my hands, it’s in yours too
The journal that I have about us still has more room
And in this life of sorrow I know one thing’s true:
I love you

[Chorus: Connis]
I know you’re scared of me
Cause I showed you everything
I know you’re mad at me
For all that I couldn’t be
When I was in your arms
You did me no harm
And I did us so wrong
No, I did you so wrong
So let’s kiss this past goodbye
And the memories so long
Cause I did you so wrong
And I did me so wrong
