bloom

Here's a rainy day for her

And as it pours down, her heart sinks into the overflow

Down, down, down

Into the depths of the ocean

Or at least the edge of the street

Well her love's in Colorado

But he's not her love at all 

Only within her heart now

The real world would not allow it

So now that they're over, she takes it like a trooper

Going into the military after all

I imagine what it's like

On the way home from Commerce, Texas

A battlefield in front of you

A former love behind, lost in the mountains

But she puts on a smile I can almost see

It's like a bullet to the gut for me

But I'm not the one who'll face such things

Killed by long-distance

At such a young age

I wonder if she ever thinks,

Where am I even going?

I see my sister next to me on a stage

There's a guitar around her neck

And my microphone is cold

She leans into hers

"This one's for Quanah"

Can I be close to you?
