[Verse 1]
I might go to the mountains of Spain
And I'll see all the pretty snow
And I'll dream the dream I dream
No matter where I go
[Verse 2]
We were still young like when we met
And I hadn't fucked it all up yet
And you wanted me to be with you
Like before
[Chorus]
What I like about time is it don't ask why
What I like about love is it makes me cry
What I like about the bird is she don't need
Nothing but sky
[Verse 3]
And I know you tried to tell me then
No one could bear the shit I put on them
I guess you wonder why you even let me in
Well, so do I
[Verse 4]
In my dream I never make you pay
For all the things you did and did not say
I was ready to be good to you
And make you stay
[Verse 5]
And you took me to the carnival town
And we rode the rides up and down
And we watched the birds watch us smile
And then they flew away
[Chorus]
What I like about time is it don't ask why
What I like about love is it makes me cry
What I like about the bird is she don't need
Nothing but sky
[Verse 6]
And I know you think my life's a crime
And you talk about it to your wife sometimes
Y'all shake your heads and sigh
Oh believe me, I shake mine
