Damn Love Song Lyrics - Singles - Kris Delmhorst

How can I carve your name in the trunk of a tree 

That'll be here long after we're gone? 

I can't even write it in the steam on the mirror 

And with nobody listening, not even myself 

It's as much as I can do 

To whisper those words in your ear 

After all of these years, look at me here 

With a love song stuck in my throat 

Got the weight of the world on my shoulders 

I won't let it go 

How can I dive right down in the deep blue sea 

And still hope to find my way home? 

When I stumble on my way to the shore 

And when all of the airplanes, all of the cars 

And all the miles in the world 

Are sometimes not enough to quite reach your door 

After all of these years, will you look at me here 

With this love song stuck in my throat? 

Got the weight of the world 

And there's not too much else I can hold 

And what if my chances run out someday 

What if life's not my batting machine? 

What if it stops throwing pitches before I hit one clean? 

How can I lie beside you, night after night 

And pick at the lock on your heart when I never once opened my own? 

'Cause the last time it got free 

It just cut and run like a stray out in the street 

And it took just about all I had just to make it come home 

After all these years, is the time drawing near 

When a love song flies from my throat? 

Can I lay down the weight of the world by the side of the road 

Lay down the weight of the world and call myself home 

Lay down the weight of the world?
