Where did you learn to love like that
I always am surprised
The way you tell me every day everything I'm doing right
And all those words that come like breathing to you
I stumble through
How can I hold onto you
You make me feel deified
When all the while
You're the one who brightens up the sky
Warming the world
And I would go back in time
To backyard weddings under a tunnel of vines
Where are the bride plays on a mandolin
And the boy sings from his heart
And it feels like you're captured in a monument from Christo
You love like that
You take me back
You're like coming home
You take me back to the alchemy of dancing to accordion tunes
Songs of immigrants
I still know every line
You stick like the echo of a candid laugh
You're my perfect alibi
I've white-washed love with scenery and plans
I've pretended my way through to make a promise last
But the lens cleared once you came along
And all my legends have turned to folklore
Where the bride plays on a mandolin
And the boy sings from his heart
And it feels like you're captured in a monument from Christo
You love like that
You take me back
You're like coming home
The wind-blown elms that line the road lead up to a bridge
One way to go
Where the bride plays on a mandolin
With joy that's not disguised
Hand out roses tonight
It's okay to throw rice
You love like that
You take me back
You're like coming home
Where the bride plays on a mandolin
And the boy sings from his heart
And it feels like you're captured in a monument from Christo
You love like that
You take me back
You're like coming home
