The woman I was didn't want you to meet her
They called me a liar, they called me a cheater
And I swallowed every last word like I deserved it
A heap of excuses on a mountain of mistakes
New York to St. Paul put me in the right place
When you smiled you gave me the world
And it felt like grace
Dragging, racing along
Could never deserve you but you made me strong
I'll be who I was all along
'Cause you brought the air back, turned dusk to dawn
Words were lost in a pile of years,
Years that rushed and got rough 'round the edges
I tore it all down and came to the one place I belonged
The birds, the breeze and the girl who enjoyed this one horse town
I'll be who I was all along
'Cause you brought the air back, turned dusk to dawn
When you give your smile it sounds like grace
When you give me the world it feels like grace
And I'll always follow you no matter what it takes
And I'll always follow you 'cause it feels like grace
