(专辑： Let It Go - 2009)

I found mattress off the back of an open box truck
I carried it on my back down the length of my block
I slept above Revolution Records and a toy factory
Across from the Electric Lady Land and all the shoes on H Street

You dropped out of high school to find a life outside the cinder block walls
You worked part time at the diner and then over the old folks home
There six kids in your house all piled in on the third floor
And you moved to Southy on Oak Street not far from the shore

Oh the first time I saw her she was up on a rec hall stage
You were trying to keep from laughing your voice was covered in blue paint
We came in from the mainland on a spade from '71
I came back at night on my dads motorcycle but you were gone

Well I heard about you from my friend Billy Bogs
How you ran with all the boys and their trucks
How you can could drink an old car off its blocks
And be home in time for dinner

I was driving Wimpy around with Finny in my lap he was just a pup
I sneaked by your moms house and see if you were up
I said my brothers and I are going out we wont be long
Yea were going to Four Corners for a fire would you like to tag along

And I said yea I like her just fine
You said yea I guess he's alright
Yea but something it happened in time
A love born that keeps getting bigger
It keeps getting bigger

You had your hair pulled back, back when it was all blonde
You'd been to LA but came back because it was never home
We moved in to Sparhawk and in the van you claimed your seat
You shaved your head and said you wouldn't leave me for all the shoes on the H Street

And oh I say I'm yours and you say you're mine
And all we ask for is time and more time
And thank the world for treating us so kind
For a love that keeps getting bigger
And how could I have a chorus so true
As to bare any resemblance to you
And I'm sure its been sung and it's been said
As the visions they play in a mans head
As I set out with the impossible to do
Write a song that's as pretty as you
And your face isn't covered in blue
But if I could say anything its thanks for seeing me through

And this love that keeps getting bigger
It keeps getting bigger
