lyrics

Mason Jar


Remember when you met me halfway, at a motel down in Boise?
We were dancing for Paul Simon when the ushers made a fuss.
Remember when we laughed it off because they kept playing your favorite song?
The band was painted orange as he sang his blue and rust.


That was when nobody standing could not move themselves somehow.
All the crowd danced in their place and played the truth into the ground.
And, we knew, if this was the only time we'd see the man in person,
We were writing our first verse, then. We were living in that sound.


Remember when I wrote that sacred melody to fill with memories
We can preserve, and then remember as we sing?
The one that's in our favorite style although we don't play favorites:
This is our song and we've made it an immortal offering.


I remember we were wary. For, the truth is seldom tempting.
Seems like life is only easy when you're burning something down.
I remember realizing how your eyes were glowing campfires--
How your poet tree keeps growing...how much fire's in the ground.


How we knew we'd never know how long until I'd come around.
How we think responsibility is frightening, somehow.
How loving you means loving two of this world's most amazing creatures.
How your daughter is a feature. How my luck is double, now.


Remember when I wrote that sacred melody? You taught me to believe
In something I'll be doing anything to keep.
You're all the proof I need that love is made for purpose.
We're on time now; it was worth it. You deserve all of me.


When it's all wrong-- when it's all wrong-- when it's all wrong--
When it's all wrong-- when it's all wrong-- when it's all wrong--


Remember that you met me halfway through a blue, electric forest--
That we had been wishing for it-- that we knew it at first sight.
Remember that this is a Mason Jar-- fill it up and store it--
All good verses get a chorus-- now we have the words just right:


Remember when we rode that sacred threnody of everything we need
And drove it carefully until we saw the sun?
When you need to be reminded we can look for what we find,
Take a look at what we found; now, our journey's just begun.
