This Is What I Love About You

I love you, you know it’s true. There’s not a lot I wouldn’t do, if it helped you.
This isn’t about the things that I’d do to show how much I love you.
This is what I love about you.

You soften and light up with a smile that comes from your heart when you look at your kids and they aren’t looking.
You gave me the bigger half of the candy bar that you bought
You showed me how to do things I didn’t think that I could do
Fresh baked cookies and watermelon seed spits
Cream of wheat is definitely not the same as grits
Kickflips off the deck and Real Fast Trucks

I love these things, they make me smile, I can’t resist sitting in them for a while

Jump out of the tree, double jump into the sky
You can do anything, all you have to do is try
Because I said so, I don’t have to tell you why
Cross my heart and hope to die

Call the cops but quick hang up with dread.
Oh good they sent a police car we’re dead.
Ghost in the graveyard, shark in the dark.
Bored on the weekends sneak into Lilac Park

Spoons, Rook, Dutch Blitz, Speed
Things like these are what I need
