lyrics

We share the same city
We idle at lights
We shop the same aisles
We move through our lives
With kids in the backseat
And mail in the slot
Not enough time
For the things we’ve got

I wonder about you
Do you wonder about me
Do you see the same
Color blue that I see

The villains in your stories
Are the heroes in mine
we’d change different things
If we could go back in time
With fences for neighbors
And flags in the yard
We keep to ourselves
We wave from our cars

I wonder about you
Do you wonder about me
Do you see the same
Color red that I see

We tune out the news
While the barricades fall
We act like it’s normal
But it isn’t at all
Not so sure of anything
As we are of ourselves
Neither of us buying
What the other one sells
A chip on your shoulder
And a thumb in my eye
We grew up so different
And I don’t know why
I can’t get past it
I can’t even begin
But I’ll open the door
If you want to come in

I wonder about you
Do you wonder about me
Do you see the same
Flashing lights that I see

Casey Cottrell is an old friend and fellow traveler on the "why am I making a record after all this time?" train. God, that guy can write. Chris Canipe
