[Verse 1]
You're a glass Coke bottle with a flower inside
The Autumn leaves before they've died
You're the chill in the air in the morning light
You're the bruises on my body
I'm Chuck Taylor's in a cotton dress
While you're kneeling on the ground in your Sunday best
Kiss my cheek and say your prayer
That I might be your saving Grace
That I might be your saving Grace
[Chorus]
Maybe we'll be sixty and standing on the side of the road
With this broke down bus
Or maybe we'll be twenty-seven standing on top of the world
But I know this much is true
It's always been you
I know there's a chance our plans will get us somewhere, love
But whatever will do, whatever will do
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm hanging by the thread of these long-distance calls
Gotta leave my room to stop staring at the walls
I'm staring at the sky but behind my eyes
All the reruns of the story
Like the rooftop of the Georgia Theatre
Dancing but, babe, my feet hurt
You piggyback me all the way down the steps
You piggyback me all the way back to bed
Until we're wine-drunk in the middle of the nighttime
Get high off a supersonic sunrise
Lay here until the hunger kicks in
You could kiss me and do it all over again
[Chorus]
Maybe we'll be sixty and standing on the side of the road
With this broke down bus
Or maybe we'll be twenty-seven standing on top of the world
But I know this much is true
It's always been you
I know there's a chance our plans will get us somewhere, love
But whatever will do
[Post-Chorus]
Whatever does, it's you that I trust
I know there's a chance the wind might take us
Leave our dreams in the dust
But it's you that I trust
[Chorus]
So maybe we'll be sixty and standing on the side of the road
With this broke down bus
And maybe we'll be twenty-seven standing on top of the world
But I know this much is true
It's always been you
I know there's a chance our plans will get us somewhere, love
But whatever will do
[Outro]
And whatever does, it's you that I trust
I know there's a chance the wind might take us
Leave our dreams in the dust
But it's you that I trust
