Arizona

My words are cherry blossoms on your sidewalk
You can't gather them all
My words are cherry blossoms on your sidewalk
Watch them fall
We thought the grand canyon
Would make our troubles seem small
Drove south to extend the summer
But it still felt like fall

And I wanted to take a picture but you wouldn't stop the car
And it all confirmed that a gap could extend that far

Your words are smooth stones in clenched fists
Try to hold them all
Your words are smooth stones in clenched fists
When they are heavy you let them fall
You say I am like the Arizona landscape
I keep changing and you lose track
You are like the Hoover Dam
Always holding so much back

And I wanted to take a picture but you wouldn't stop the car
And it all confirmed that a gap could extend that far

And the little puffy cloud song was playing
As we drove under the Arizona sky
And the cactuses looked like people waving
So I waved back as we went by

And I wanted to take a picture but you wouldn't stop the car
And it all confirmed that a gap could extend that far
