Song For Acuarela
JR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wonderin’ if you’ll visit from time to time
I must admit this house just don’t seem home-y
And when I think about you sometimes I cry
Now me and ma been stones for one another
We used to hold our own, now we hold each other
We knew you had to leave, and we don’t judge you
But please visit soon so we can hug you
Pull up a chair, sit on the floor, come in
And then I’ll hold you tight
Dad, welcome home
The porch lights off but the coffees on yeah
And I’ll tell you just take your time
That’s the dream I had last night
Well the years rolled by, I’ve found somebody
I swear you’d love her just like your own
And god, I wish that you could meet her
I know you see everything
I know I’m not alone
She’ll open the door and you’ll meet her for the first time ever
Probably look at the floor, you’ll hug her
And think of something clever to say, to me
Like how in the hell did you get so lucky
And I’ll tell you it just felt right
That’s the dream I had last night
If you could only see me now
A brand new job, and a brand new house
You taught me how to be a fighter
You’ll open the door, then I’ll walk right in
Suppers on the table, You and ma been cooking
You’ll open the door and I’ll come running back inside
Pull up a chair, sit on the floor, come in
And then you’ll hold me tight
Son welcome home
The porch lights off but the coffees on, yeah
And you’ll tell me just take your time
You’ll tell me just take your time
Like you said, just take your time
That’s the dream I’ll have tonight
That’s the dream I’ll have tonight
Yeah
You’ll open the door and I’ll come running back inside
