Every Year

I thought about you dying for the first time today
That's how I know I love you
On the lake I hear you laughing and the sound moves through my skin
Now my time bends different because of it

You look just like your mama, you told me yesterday
I used to be afraid of that but now I think the same
Lines across my hands, lines across my life
I follow the light 'til I see the other side

Every year I meet someone who changes me
Every change I want comes slowly

My stories kept me safe but now I understand
A story is a lifeboat and sometimes there is land
You can get out, tie your story to the dock
Now there's so much more you can think about

Every year I meet someone who changes me
Every change I want comes slowly
Every year I meet someone who changes me
Every change I want comes slowly
