The Wonder Years

Press my forehead to yours
In a hospital room
You on the paper sheets
Blue like a bruise

You fell asleep in my arms
Deep in the afternoon
Black x on your brand new skin
Moment of truth

And I don't pray
So I know it's pathetic
When they wheel you away
I get down on my knees

I call you
Junebug
Even though your middle name is August
It's true love
I knew from the minute that I saw you
I'd wake up
I know your heart
Like my only friend

The summer sun is in love
With you in the cool wet dawn
The light rests in your tangled curls
Strawberry blonde

I'm listening to you hum
To tell me your favorite songs
Spin around in the neon dusk
Singing along

But when I say
That I gotta get going
You put your hand on my face
And you tell me to stay

I call you
Junebug
Even though your middle name is August
It's true love
I knew from the minute that I saw you
I'd wake up
I know your heart
Like my only friend

But I don't know what to do
With your birthday cards or hospital bracelets
I wanna memorize you
With your hands still small enough
That they fit in my palms forever

I call you
Junebug
Even though your middle name is August
It's true love
I knew from the minute that I saw you
I'd wake up
I know your heart
Like my only friend

'Cause I know your heart
Like my only friend
