Windows Open Over Water (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Screen door creaking, porch light humming

Water line bending silver below

Old wooden dock with two rusty chairs

Sitting soft where the current slows down

You said one more summer we can't miss

I nodded slow on a swig of sweet tea

Watched the evening gold go flat and pink

Same old river holding all our secrets

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it pulling us out wide?

Something steady under this quiet tide

Chorus

Windows open over water tonight

Stars are blinking soft like a thousand lights

We ain't got forever but we're feeling right

Windows open over water tonight

Hold my hands up where the current bites

Let the whole world drift down to dust and white

Nothing else matters, only this warm summer night

Verse

You told me secrets I already knew

Like how the creek bed wears down what's new

Fishing line rattling like a slow song

Watched your shadow stretch long on the stone

Cigarette smoke drifting soft across the lake

Said we're young enough to keep this pace

Now the porch light flickers through a pine tree screen

And I'm still waiting for you, but that's okay, it's seen

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it pulling us out wide?

Something steady under this quiet tide

Chorus

Windows open over water tonight

Stars are blinking soft like a thousand lights

We ain't got forever but we're feeling right

Windows open over water tonight

Hold my hands up where the current bites

Let the whole world drift down to dust and white

Nothing else matters, only this warm summer night

Bridge

Maybe I never asked what the future held

Maybe I just wanted time to linger on this shelf

This dock's been weathered since before we knew how hard life would be

Right here is forever, at least for me

So I'm gonna keep my eyes down and watch the water turn

Nothing else needs saying — it's already learned

Chorus

Windows open over water tonight

Stars are blinking soft like a thousand lights

We ain't got forever but we're feeling right

Windows open over water tonight

Hold my hands up where the current bites

Let the whole world drift down to dust and white

Nothing else matters, only this warm summer night
