Scaffolding Lyrics

Found your postcard in the mailbox

It said "Just pack a bag and meet me here"

"Bring only what you need"

I took the bus to New York City

Stayed just long enough to see the lights

The incandescent sky

You called me out into the city

And couldn't wait to see your smile

And your follow through

Like you always do

The only way that you know how

I'm a little older now it's been more than a year

I know enough to see what's happening

The wheels are turning round

I caught a whisper in the magic of the air

I swore I heard a church bell ring

A song is in my ear

It's not for me the word was broken

I'm not the one to step inside

I'm a passenger

With a load to bear

With nowhere left to hide

I caught a piece of something precious

I pulled it close to keep inside

and the scaffolding

Wrapped around this dream

Was only built for you and I

I caught a piece of something precious

I pulled it close to keep inside

and the scaffolding

Wrapped around this dream

Was only built for you and I
