You set up a fort in the blankets
With rug burns all over your knees
When I knocked on your door you went running
To the thick of the cottonwood trees
I was tracing your steps don't the concrete
Doing my best to just follow your lead
Every move you would make I would copy
So you saved all the hard ones for me
You set up a fort in the blankets
With rug burns all over your knees
When I knocked on your door you went running
To the thick of the cottonwood trees
Take me back a year
Oh take me back a year
When I was in the clear
And the sun was always near
Take me back a year
Oh take me back a year
When I was in the clear
And the sun was always near to me
You held open the door for the broken
But closed it when I looked your way
And took off in the other direction
To the hills where the Evergreens sway
The longer I ran the more tired I grew
The winds they had sworn that they'd lead me to you
But maybe they won't
And maybe I'm wasting my time
You held open the door for the broken
But closed it when I looked your way
And took off in the other direction
To the hills where the Evergreens sway
Take me back a year
Oh take me back a year
When I was in the clear
And the sun was always near
Take me back a year
Oh take me back a year
When I was in the clear
And the sun was always near to me
