You're the Only One Who Gets Me

You found me at a party in a corner

Uncorked with a label they misread

A finely tuned piano with the lid kept folded down

Gravity, just pulling up ahead

We thanked the scattered host and left her party

Wandered through the city in the night

We saw a busking drummer down on Main Street

And a poet read her stanzas by a light

We were digging through our pockets for two dollars

Loved the poet, but we had to make it fair

Over breakfast at the diner, we sat quiet without cringing

Just taking in the peaceful morning air

It's good to feel free

Don't need to be on guard or draw

Some circle of protection

I can just breathe and be

You're the only one who gets me

My mother used to call me such a dreamer

She wondered why I live inside my head

When I went home from school, I found the answer

To what happens in the fall when leaves turn red

Now you and I have lived through many seasons

We've grown up and mom ain't here no more

But you take me to the mountains each

October Just to spend one night on a crimson forest floor

It's good to feel free

Don't need to be on guard or draw Some circle of protection

I can just breathe and be

You're the only one who gets me

I'm walking home and hear somebody whistle

Old man says: "Lady, where you going? You look fine!"

As the traffic drowns him out, he's still cussing in the distance Some people spend a lifetime trying to figure out their opening line

It's good to feel free

Don't need to be on guard or draw Some circle of protection

I can just breathe and be

You're the only one who gets me

So good to feel free

Don't want to be on guard, just make A meaningful connection

And you found the key

You're the only one who gets me

Good to feel free So good to feel free

So good to feel free So good to feel free It's good to feel free
