What We've Got

I see an old white wicker chair on a front porch
it's raining all around the sky is grey
the paint is peeling
and I can hear an old dog dreaming
his ragged breath is keeping me awake
and there's a sign inside the record store window
it says quit looking, love is blind
it makes me smile
cause I know
that what we've got is what everybody's trying so hard to find

it makes me want you
it makes me want to
call you up and say I'm coming home tonight
cause all the time I thought that I was wasting
I was just learning how to look into your eyes
and say I want you
I want to call you mine

I think about the days when I was younger
such a selfish little thing, so full of pride
and oh, how I needed them to love me
it made me ugly and unkind
now there's an old man sitting by the window
he's got an angel on his mind
and I smile
cause I know that what we've got is gonna take us there in time
