State Line


I forgot how to make moments anew
Find my own time to smile
So I daydream a love long overdue
While I burn up in flames all the while

Working two shifts won’t bat my eyes
But I been working this season straight through
So I daydream, my love, into the night
While clutching the air that was you

And oh! the lives I would give
Just to make the bed in the house where you live
And oh! the time stood still
I swear you were blind to cross that state line
To leave me here, to die

Oh, that my love could make you full
Fill you the same each day
Like petals of flowers filling the table
Hiding the spill from his coffee

Your phone yet warm with the sound of my voice
Passed on from tower to tower
If it were so, our love might still grow
Relayed by the cold, hard steel
