Chad Brock - Population Minus One lyrics

What the heck was I thinking Comin' and livin' in this concrete canyon Tryin' to swim upstream in a river of vacant-eyed people Where are they all going so fast And what in the world could be so important Man, I miss Mama Wonder what she's doing Probably looking out the kitchen window At that green gra** and that clear sky Daddy's probably sneakin' up behind her Puttin' his arms around her waist Restin' that head on her shoulder Tellin' her how much he loves her That's what I oughta be doing with you right now I find it hard to 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 thinking, 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 Your toenails painted all 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 to 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 Rollin' 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 Those post-game celebration beer bottle dents In that deer crossing sign Ya know, a few of those were ours Kiss me, no you kiss me 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 ya more than I need that town Population minus one Watchin' that sunset, your hand in mine Just look at you and me, right where we need to be
