[Verse 1]
You slid onto my leather seat
You leaned in and you kissed my cheek
And I knew right when that moment came
That summer would start and end the same
Drove right down to our favorite spot
While the headlights passed that we liked to watch
Stared at the sky and we didn't speak
'Til the moment came that you fell asleep

[Hook]
We could have had tonight
But we grew to close with white wine
Now you can't open your eyes
But you see colors in your eyelids
A mess of gold and violet
You hear the hum of welcome silence
With the singing notes of violins

[Verse 2]
Autumn came and we grew so close
And we finally learned how to let go
But the leaves that fell, they foreshadowed
The change that would come with the first snow

[Hook]
We could have had tonight
But there were words that crossed that thin red line
I saw it in your eyes
That were a mess of gold and violet
Not the same I feel in love with
And When I saw your tears it proved it
That this was dead and we both knew it
And now your married and that's fine
But you will always cross my mind
Where we'd be this place and time
If I had never crossed that thin red line

[Reprise]
Well I hope he takes
I hope he takes you higher
Higher (x6)
