I Will Always Root for You

If I let myself remember
 I could sink into nostalgia
 Spend the evening on the carpet
 By the shelf with the photo albums
 Think of all the things that I wish I had done with you
 Here's a box of old letters
 To prove that things weren't always better
 Found a postcard of a lobster
 You had written your own caption
 Somehow it said exactly what I wanted you to say to me
 The world is way too big and perfect for just you and me
 But I don't know what else to do
 I will always root for you
 In the heavy summer swelter
 We left the animal shelter
 You asked me if I would drive
 The car never felt so alive
 And I looked at you with the cat in your lap
 The greatest thing I've ever seen, the cat in your lap
 But I don't know what else to do
 I will always root for you
 You said you like to take pauses
 You said you like to take pauses
 You said you like to take pauses
 How is it you always know exactly what I want you to say to me?
 Somehow you always know exactly what I wish you would say to me
 Say to me
 But I don't know what else to do
 I will always root for you
