You & I

One of these days you’re gonna ask me to leave
From your front porch, I’ll roll up my sleeves
And show you the heart that I’ve worn from the start
Before there ever was you and me
One of these days I’ll be driving away
On a dirt road, I’ll make my escape
With my white flag held high
Throw my arms to the sky
Screaming about my mistakes
One of these days you’ll be thinking about me
Seeing things, that you never could see
How it all was right there
In your autumn red hair
All I ever could need
One of these days I will fill up my bed
With the letters, I never will send
See the engine false start when its missing some parts
Dreaming of you in my head
One of these days you will call on my phone
And my momma will say I’m not home
While I’m in the next room
With my heart, full of gloom
No, you never felt so alone
One of these days you and I won’t see eye to eye
One of these days you and I won’t be side by side
One of these days I will finally know
Why the summer gives way to the snow
You’ve got to kill a few things to make it to spring
Where a new one can be, can now grow
One of these days you’ll be one day too late
