You pull white cotton sheets above your crinkled little nose
Hide your eyes from the light of that raindrop stained window
You aid your “sorrys” with a smile for kicking in your sleep
So you wake me up with kisses, leaving forgiveness on my cheek
When we call I do the talking
I take each ache and make it mine
Because I see through love’s light lenses
So scars like ours are hard to find
My legs grew shaky from walking in those old, worn, brown shoes
And my eyes were carrying bags from insomniatic blues
But you held tightly to my fingers like you were afraid to loose my hand
And you sang sweetly in my ear that I’d always be your man
When we call you do the talking
To lift the aches out from my mind
Because you see through love’s light lenses
So scars like ours are hard to find
We took off fast
Leaving burn marks on the road
Easy to love the past
From your car window
And my vision ain't blurred
But the path seems a little more clear
We found truth like it was treasure
Even though that's not how it appeared
'Cause when we call, we both do the talking
To life the aches out from our minds
Because we see through love’s light lenses
So scars like ours are hard to find
