I see you waiting on the front porch, looking like a dream

You like my Mineral bumper sticker and laugh at the way I sing

Wish I could find a way to make you feel safe, could this be the way?

 

It's summer in San Diego, a week past the 4th of July

We're still blasting off bottle rockets and making up for lost time

Wish I could find a way to make you feel safe, could this be the way?

 

Kisses on your forehead

You said you waited so long

With your head on my shoulder

I just wrote you a love song

I just wrote you a love song

 

It's still hot in this beat-up Camry, even with the windows down

Sit here sweating, feeling sorry for myself, gonna do all the things you ask

Wish I could find a way to make you feel safe, could this be the way?

 

Kisses on your forehead

You said you waited so long

With your head on my shoulder

I just wrote you a love song

I draw circles on your skin

You knew that I'd be the one

With your head on my shoulder

I just wrote you a love song

 

I am a work of art

 

I'm not trying to be dramatic

I'm not trying to sound pathetic

I just want these words in my head

To come out somewhat poetic

 

Hope that I found a way to make you feel safe, could this be the way?

Could this be the way?

 

Kisses on your forehead

You said you waited so long

With your head on my shoulder

I just wrote you a love song

I draw circles on your skin

You knew that I'd be the one

With your head on my shoulder

I just wrote you a love song

 

I just wrote you a love song
