Seven Days

A Saturday downpour carved out rivers in the sand

She said it was her first time to see the sea

Helping her climb across those jetty rocks

Was the first time I touched her hand

The rain and the way that felt never let up all week

By Thursday I knew everything about her

And God, the last day I didn't want to leave without her

The sidewalks, the streets were soaked

The sky was gray, but you should have seen her face

Shining like that lighthouse through all the rain

And the way she called my name

I've lived those seven days a thousand times

Those seven days a thousand

Time was like the tide, it came and went

That old pier ran clear out into the mist

My mind plays back that Tuesday night again and again and again

I taste that saltwater taffy on her lips

Wednesday morning snuck in through the window

We just laid there and listened to the waves come and go

The sidewalks, the streets were soaked

The sky was gray but you should have seen her face

Shining like that lighthouse through all the rain

And the way she called my name

I've lived those seven days a thousand times

Those seven days a thousand

Moments with her, now they're all a blur

Except for every second and every word

Every drop of rain, every single grain of sand

The sidewalks, the streets were soaked

The sky was gray but you should have seen her face

Shining like that lighthouse through all the rain

And the way she called my name

I've lived those seven days a thousand times

Those seven days a thousand times

Seven days a thousand times

A thousand times

Seven days a thousand times
