What the hell was I thinkin'
Comin' and livin' in the concrete canyon
Trying to swim upstream in a river of vacant eyed people

Your toenails painted cotton candy pink ah man

All those post game celebration beer bottle dents 
In that deer crossing sign
You know a few of those were ours
Kiss me..kiss me again

[Chorus]

It feels so good to breathe
With you here next to me
In your arms it feels like home
Gonna watch the sun go down
I need you more than I need that t...
