Paramount

And we were like a thousand miles apart for weeks
Remember El Paso your skin it warmed its streets
Your selfless passion claimed my heart for keeps
Come on down come on down
In ties and wedding gowns
Sweet words sweet sounds
Are simply paramount
Come on down come on down
Don’t you know that everything will be fine, everything will be just fine
I’ve got no jitters got no qualms
No fretting nerves or sweating palms
The sun is shining where I see
While clouds surround you and me
I’m not shaky I’m not taut
I’m not stressed or overthought
Patient singing all my complaints about devotion
Singing out jokes about fish in the ocean
All the lonely songs and the stories I wrote
Filling up the black and white and purple and gold
Never find me lacking when there’s misery involved
Now I write what it’s like to become old
And all the things I wanna say oh I have waited for this day
