She's a southern queen, a church dress dream
A paper plane made from a page of poetry
Sentimental soul, loves Indy melodies
Laughs so free like it's 2014
The air smells sweet when she walks by me
Coffee sipping slow till she needs a reheat
Hand-wove blanket on a moonlit beach
And I don't know why she chose me, but I

Hope that one day I can see
The way she walks down every aisle
Watch her dancing wild and free
As time wrinkles 'round her smile
To hear her whisper in her sleep
The way our secrets intertwine
I just pray I'll never see
The way she says goodbye

I'm a northwest stone in a Rivendell creek
A night diving dreamer on Rockaway beach
I'm a sunburnt soft-top broken down Jeep
A pawnshop Taylor with just five strings, but I

Hope that one day I can see
The way she walks down every aisle
Watch her dancing wild and free
As time wrinkles 'round her smile
To hear her whisper in her sleep
The way our secrets intertwine
I just pray I'll never see
The way she says goodbye
The way she says goodbye

I pray that one day we'll grow old
And we'll watch that last sunset
Hope our notebook love gets told
Years beyond our final breath
Nothing more I'll ever need
With this angel by my side
Till that day I finally see
The way she says goodbye

The way she says goodbye
The way she says goodbye
