Maggie Will

(album: Powerlines - 2023)

Change a beer and attitude
All at once reintroduce
The other side of a girl I've known for years
The sundress sticking to her frame
She makes me feel like nothing's changed
But she has, she'd like to make that clear

Her questions never seem to stop
Her elbows pressed on countertops
She hates the fact that I still care
Still unsure what this becomes
I tell her, "I think I'm in love"
She tells me she's already aware

And that is scary feeling like you're worth
The pain it'd take to make this work
Forever's probably better on my own
And I said, "I still don't think I'm whole enough
To be the better half of anyone
So I don't need a promise cut from stone
At the least Maggie will you let me not let you be alone?"

She says red banks not her home
But we sleep in the same area code
At least for now I did just book a flight
I ask, "Can I be what you need?"
And she thinks with a Neuroscience degree
And says nothing but, "Could you hold me tight?"

And that is scary feeling like you're worth
The pain it'd take to make this work
Forever's probably better on my own
And I said, "I still don't think I'm whole enough
To be the better half of anyone
So I don't need a promise cut from stone
At the least Maggie will you let me not let you be alone?"

She said if she marries me it's diamonds first
And she'll kill me if it's in a church
But I don't need a promise cute from stone
"At the least Maggie will you let me not let you be alone?"
Oh
