Well, If the world ever feels alright it's under the comforter of night
With you here beside me sleeping sound
I've stayed awake waiting for your footsteps through our door
Then you fell asleep as you laid down

We both know you work so hard. Get your rest while I keep guard
Because tomorrow's a million mile road
With your alarm at 4am lightning will strike the ground again
And I'm afraid you'll meltdown from overload

Blue ribbon gardens cannot compete
With flowers that grow through cracked concrete
Despite the street of rushing feet, they find the sun
And when the hard times come
That's you, just ask yeah, anyone

You were never one to complain, even as you broke from soaking rain
Somehow I know, although I wasn't there
It was a year before we met. I sketched a vague silhouette
But knew it was you the day you appeared

Like gulls over the sea, that's how our lives should be
Free, as the watermelon seed-speckles in your eyes
But in every place you look another grappling hook's
Dropping the prize. It's not your fault. Don't apologize

Blue ribbon gardens cannot compete
With flowers that grow through cracked concrete
Despite the street of rushing feet, they find the sun
And when the hard times come
That's you, just ask yeah, anyone

The love you live to give flows through us like a sieve
Straining pain and all remains are purified
No pressure but you know a hundred worlds you hold
And the stakes of a mistake leave you paralyzed

Walk through the webs you can. What you can't, I'll understand
Know nothing's gonna hurt us standing side by side
The smartest choice I ever made was when you said, "go" but I stayed
To explain why your concerns were unjustified

Blue ribbon gardens cannot compete
With flowers that grow through cracked concrete
Despite the street of rushing feet, they find the sun
And when the times come
That's you, just ask yeah anyone
