This Is A Love Song

(album: The Trouble With Boys - 2019)

Whatever you're doing, wherever you are
You're my favorite lyric, you're every note in the bar
And you can play my heart
Like broken strings on an old guitar

Whatever you need, whatever it takes
Give me the words, I'll put them in the right place
How did you come to me, such a melody
It's all I need
There on the semi-brief

Oh, and this is the love song written for you
I hope that you like, it's the best I can do
And they'll probably say it's not as good as my other tunes
You won't win a grammy or buy me a car
I use the same chords and I always sing sharp
And this ain't a face that would break many hearts
And those days are past but I always love you
Yeah, I do as long as you want me to
Yeah, I do

How did we get here?
Where did time go?
The beat of your heart's the only sound I still know
I wish I could sing to you every night
But it's just too hard

Where are you going?
What do you need?
Can you hear the birds out there on the breeze?
And they know a pretty tune but it ain't for you
Ah, don't you see?
You deserve a symphony, oh, oh

This is a love song written for you
I hope that you like, it's the best I can do
Give it some time, I think it's one of my favorite tunes
It won't win a Grammy or buy me a car
But I promise you this, it came from the heart
'Cause this ain't a face that's gonna go far
Those days are past but I always love you
Yeah, I do as long as you want me to
Yeah, I do

And if you go, will I still sing this song about you?
If you go, there's not a word that I would change
And if you go, well, I'd still sing this song without you
Hoping that one day you say
"That's my song, can you play it again and again and again?"

'Cause this is a love song written for you
I hope that you like, it's the best I can do
Give it some time, I think it's one of my favorite tunes
It won't win a Grammy or buy me a car
But I promise you this, it came from the heart
'Cause this ain't a face that's gonna go far
'Cause those days are past, those days are past
