Population Minus One

What the hell was I thinkin' Comin' and livin' in this concrete canyon Tryin' to swim upstream in a river of vacant eyed people Where they going so fast? What could be that important? And I miss Mama I wonder what she's doing She's probably looking out that kitchen window That green grass and clear sky Daddy's probably sneakin' up behind her Putting his arms around her waist Restin' that head on her shoulder Telling her how much he loves her That's what I ought to be doing with you right now I find it hard breathe Without you next to me Gonna leave this phone hangin', I'm gone Before the sun goes down Gonna ditch this town Population minus one Oh, yeah, I know what I was thinkin', I wasn't I came this close to making the biggest mistake of my life Is that a train I hear in the background? You're on the porch aren't you? Got your head resting on that pillow on the swing Your bare feet propped up on those chain links Toenails painted cotton candy pink, oh, man Let's see, smog or the smell of summer in your hair I'm outta here I find it hard breathe Without you next to me Gonna leave this phone hangin', I'm gone Before the sun goes down Gonna ditch this town Population minus one Baby, I can't tell you how good it felt To roll back into this little map dot Seeing those sugar maples shading main street And I never noticed it before but I smiled when I saw All those post game celebration, beer bottle dents In that deer crossing sign You know some of those were ours Kiss me, kiss me again It feels so good to breathe With you here next to me In your arms it feels like home Gonna watch the sun go down I need you more than I need that town Population minus one Just look at you and me Right where we need to be, yeah
