measure by measure

You wanna go back and celebrate it like it was good old wintertime
you got yourself convinced that's when everything was fine
you got an issue with heartache
an issue with damaged pride
you gotta pocketful of doubting yourself and reflections on divine
you got social graces up the yin yang
keeping you 3 steps behind your own time
you got a handful of dreams you keep shoving back
and that's no way to be alive

you saddled up to the side like there was no limit to your mind
remember road side boxes you posted
and clicked you boots in time
remember hey days and love craze and
whatever happened to "this heart of mine"
cause words turn from beauty everyday
and the long run wears on your face
you wanna rock back to singing about
what you call those glory days
wanna be known by someone so you believe them
when they say it's gonna be okay
Nothing better than being known by somebody
to make the heartache go away
the stimulating purr of somebody wanting to talk right to your brain
and maybe love leaves you a little
and maybe you wanna keep it a little
the memory that soothes you on a lonely kind of day
