I'm staring at your face across the table once again
seems to happen every 3 or 4 years
the night before Thanksgiving we all pile into this bar
consecrate our memories of youth in holy beer

I notice you've doing something different with your hair
I notice you're not wearing your wedding ring again this year

I'm staring at the mirror in the mens room again
like I do every time I'm here
Trying to find the words I've been swallowing a lifetime
and use paper towels to wipe away years

I hope you haven't noticed, when you talk I watch your mouth
it'll wreck me 'til Christmas tonight when you walk out

But I will sit silently
seeing what I always see
how it could be
my 25 year dream
you and me in mt front seat

In my dream we never age, we never fumble like new lovers
and every single kiss could stop the world
And all the passing years aren't regrets they're just chapters
of the greatest love story you ever heard

I hope you haven't noticed the way I catch my breath
handing you my heart scares me to death

But I will sit silently
seeing what I always see
how clear it is to me
my 25 year dream
you and me in mt front seat

And I know that life is short, I've said it a billion times
in the dark when I should be asleep
God dammit I should just make a pass at you and see where we land
The fear is strong and the will is weak

You check your phone, "Is that the time?"
I try not to linger as you hug me goodbye

I will drive silently
and see what I always see
how clear it is to me
my 25 year dream
you and me
in my front seat

I will live silently
I will see what I always see
how clear it is to me
my 25 year dream
you and me
in my front seat
