Inner State

I saw you
Setting the mood like a light
In this smoky room
Dancing to the blues
Like a disco groove
Catching every eye

But I saw you
Looking at me with a smile
Like you wanted me
Saying, boy 'cmon
Well, heartbreak be gone
I just had to try

You just move baby
Move anyway you need
How d’ya do it darling
You got me on my knees on my feet
And you can take me to the left
You can take me to the right
Baby take me for the rest of my life
Just move baby
The way you move is moving me

What could I do
But follow along with your hips feet
Heartbeat song
Flowing dress and your hair
Girl it ain't fair
Whatever you do
Just don’t stop

You just move baby
Move anyway you need
How do ya do it darling
You got me on my knees on my feet
You can take me to the left
You can take me to the right
Baby take me for the rest of my life
Just move baby
The way you move is moving me

You just move baby
Move anyway you need
How d’ya do it darling
You got me on my knees on my feet
And you can take me to the left
You can take me to the right
Baby take me for the rest of my life
Just move baby
The way you move is moving me

We were bike dirt tires
On paved concrete
On the right roads
Just had the wrong wheels
But I see you back in town
Same short cut jeans
My head still spins
My heart still feels

Like riding a bike
Just you and I
Down long back roads
Your brown hair blowing
In the wind
Like it did back then
All those teenage summer nights
When I loved you
You loved me too
You were so easy
Still get that feeling
When our eyes meet
I can hop back on our love like
Like riding a bike

‘Cause baby
Our hands still fit
You still get that smile
Your winding curves
Still drive me wild
And bring me right back
To wishing I didn’t have to go
Thinking maybe we should give it one more try tonight
Just take it slow

Like riding a bike
Just you and I
Down long back roads
Your brown hair blowing
In the wind
Like it did back then
All those teenage summer nights
When I loved you
You loved me too
You were so easy
Still get that feeling
When our eyes meet
I can hop back on our love like
Like riding a bike

You got that red Honda Pilot
That you always wanted and
I’m on the road still playing
But sometimes I wonder
If it would’ve been better
If we just ended up staying

And kept riding our bikes
Just you and I
Down long back roads
Your brown hair blowing
In the wind
Like it did back then
All those teenage summer nights
Cuz I love you
You love me too
It’s so easy
Still get that feeling
When our eyes meet
I can hop back on our love like
Like riding a bike

Empty bottles messy bed
Clothes are hanging off the shelf
Memories scattered in my head
Been a mess since you left
Watching screens closing shades
Drinking eating by myself
Haven’t left here in days
Been a mess since you left and
I’ve been
Keeping all your boxes
In case you ever wanted
To move back in again
But it’s been awhile and

I think I need to clean my room
The space you left inside me too
I’ll get your clothes off the drawers and floor
Get your love out the door before
I show this place to someone new
I think I need to clean my room

Wash the windows and the pain
Get the dust off my chest
Found letters that I gave you
You didn’t take when you left and
Oh you
Left all of your boxes
I thought you would have wanted
To remember when you stayed
But you just threw it all away

I think I need to clean my room
The space you left inside me too
I’ll get your clothes off the drawers and floor
Get your love out the door before
I show this place to someone new
I think I need to clean my room

See home ain’t wherever I’m with you
It’s just where I let you into
I can make it mine again
And just maybe I’ll go out next weekend
And I’ll let someone new in
And I’ll be glad I said

I think I need to clean my room
The space you left inside me too
Get your clothes off the drawers and floor
Get your love out the door before
I show this place to someone new
I think I need to clean my room

Hey, are you alright
They ask me
Sitting with a glass of whiskey
Eyes glazed over looking at the skyline

Said friend, you know I
Love this city
But sometimes you have to excuse me
I let myself get lost up in my mind

And I go to my countryside
Take some time
Remember nights
Sitting by the fire
Leaning back
Watching the red sky sunset
Let those bare feet sway and swing
Feel that warm breeze in that piece of my mind
My countryside

Sometimes I wonder why
I left home
I fit in here but don’t belong
I miss the grass and soil beneath my feet

Pecan rolls on Sunday morning
I can smell the fresh warm coffee pouring
Though I am far from home
Home is not far from me

I can go to my countryside
Take some time
Remember nights
Sitting by the fire
Leaning back
Watching the red sky sunset
Let those bare feet sway and swing
Feel that warm breeze in that piece of my mind
My countryside

Though I am far from home
Home is not far from me
And one day you know I hope
To bring you there with me

I can go to my countryside
Take some time
Remember nights
Sitting by the fire
Leaning back
Watching the red sky sunset
Let those bare feet sway and swing
Feel that warm breeze in that piece of your mind
The countryside

You’ve been worn, you’ve been used
Walked upon and bruised
Stretched out like a sweatshirt and you’re favorite leather shoes
He left and you stayed
He tore and you frayed
And you took some days to sew and mend the new love that you gave
But it looks better that way

So show it off and don’t hide it away
That hearts too good to keep it in
That love, it ain’t broken babe
It ain’t broken it’s just broken in

So you’re first love wasn’t perfect
And neither was your second
But you got stories to tell and lots of lessons not to mention
Old pictures, aged liquor
Vinyl records and ripped jeans
People wanna see the things that have seen some things
So baby take that thing

And show it off and don’t hide it away
That hearts too good to keep it in
That love, it ain’t broken babe
It ain’t broken it’s just broken in

You can try to bend it
Try to beat it black and blue
But it’s made out of the tough stuff
It can take a scar or two

So show it off and don’t hide it away
Baby, grab those shoes we’re goin dancin’
That love, it ain’t broken babe
It ain’t broken its just broken in
You ain’t broken you’re just broken in

Do you remember
The fighting, the broken glass
Baby we were
Never supposed to last
And I know that we don’t feel the same way
Pointing our fingers at who we can blame my
Lights off laying in bed
Can’t fall asleep with you in my head

I’ve been thinking ‘bout you
Why I still don’t know
Why the hell I still can’t seem to
Let you go
I’m on the edge of a cliff just a call away
Praying you’ll pick up the phone just to say to me
I’ve been thinking about you, why I
Still don’t know

Cuz babe I remember
Driving past the trespass sign
And your white t-shirt
slipping off in the moonlight
And I know that we both were so insane
Part of me thinks I liked it that way my
Lights off laying in bed
Can’t fall asleep with you in my head

I’ve been thinking bout you
Why I still don’t know
Why the hell I still can’t seem to
Let you go
I’m on the edge of a cliff just a call away
Praying you’ll pick up the phone just to say to me
I’ve been thinking about you, why I
Still don’t know

Do you feel the same way
3 AM still awake

I’ve sang to you a million times
With hundreds of love songs I’ve memorized
Like I’m Yours, Your Song
No sunshine when you’re gone
But I don’t know you
The you that I’ve been singing to

In old dive bars, big dance halls
Coffeehouse concerts, crowded festivals
I’ve sang to strangers, old friends
All my lovely exes
But none were you
The you that I’ve been singing to

But hey you, hey you
I want you to hear
I guess that I love you
Even when you’re not here
And I can’t wait
For the day
When I will sing you every song and say
You’ve always been the you
That I’ve been singing to

Maybe you live right down the road
Or you climbing some mountain in Colorado
Or you’re listening to this song
On your long drive home
Ya you, maybe it’s you
That I’ve been singing to

Hey you, hey you
I want you to hear
I guess that I love you
Even when you’re not here
And I can’t wait
For the day
When I will sing you every song and say
You’ve always been the you
That I’ve been singing to
You’ve always been the you
That I’ve been singing to
