Along The Way

There are times I know I should not speak,
Like when my heart beats soft against your cheek.
When no one else is for me, and you show you still adore me,
the finest words I have are still too weak.

We have always drawn outside the lines.
We've had to search the depths of our own minds.
And we knew from the start we would often stand apart,
but that does not unmake these ties that bind.

We can bog down in frustration over dates and destinations,
these tiny empires filling up our hands.
But when we reach one of those places where we can find our sweet oasis,
it's worth all it takes to make those plans.

We can bog down in frustration over real-life obligations,
these tiny empires tying down our hands.
But when we reach one of those places where we can make our sweet oasis,
we know nothing's happening here by chance.

One day we may both be old and gray.
You may find you've got nothing left to say.
But I hope you realize, with your hands your heart your eyes,
you have said so much along the way.

Yes I hope you realize, with your hands, your soul, your eyes,
you have said so much along the way
