Population Minus One Lyrics - Chad Brock

What the hell was I thinkin' 

Comin' and livin' in this concrete canyon 

Tryin' to swim upstream in a river of vacant eyed people 

Where they going so fast? 

What could be that important? 

And I miss Mama 

I wonder what she's doing 

She's probably looking out that kitchen window 

That green grass and clear sky 

Daddy's probably sneakin' up behind her 

Putting his arms around her waist 

Restin' that head on her shoulder 

Telling her how much he loves her 

That's what I ought to be doing with you right now 

I find it hard breathe 

Without you next to me 

Gonna leave this phone hangin', I'm gone 

Before the sun goes down 

Gonna ditch this town 

Population minus one 

Oh, yeah, I know what I was thinkin', I wasn't 

I came this close to making the biggest mistake of my life 

Is that a train I hear in the background? 

You're on the porch aren't you? 

Got your head resting on that pillow on the swing 

Your bare feet propped up on those chain links 

Toenails painted cotton candy pink, oh, man 

Let's see, smog or the smell of summer in your hair 

I'm outta here 

I find it hard breathe 

Without you next to me 

Gonna leave this phone hangin', I'm gone 

Before the sun goes down 

Gonna ditch this town 

Population minus one 

Baby, I can't tell you how good it felt 

To roll back into this little map dot 

Seeing those sugar maples shading main street 

And I never noticed it before but I smiled when I saw 

All those post game celebration, beer bottle dents 

In that deer crossing sign 

You know some of those were ours 

Kiss me, kiss me again 

It feels so good to breathe 

With you here next to me 

In your arms it feels like home 

Gonna watch the sun go down 

I need you more than I need that town 

Population minus one 

Just look at you and me 

Right where we need to be, yeah
