Backwards Handshakes (Single Version) Lyrics

I will always cherish these little things

Not just the horse-drawn carriages and diamond rings

I will always love the way your hair falls down your shoulders when you dance

When we're gray and getting older

I finally found something I never knew

I hope I found the girl for something borrowed and blue

She's busy making memories but I know for sure I won't forget her face

And this is what I told her

When the lights go down in the city you rarely see

There's a harmony inside me

Singing you are a walking dream

I wish you could see what I see

The best night started off with backwards handshakes

And I knew when she kissed me gently at night I'd lie awake

Thinking 'bout a freckled spine, I'll be praying for the day I make you mine

I'm hoping that day's not too far away.

I'm thanking my lucky stars

You don't find love like this often in college bars

You're the sunshine on my darkest day

Months later here we are

And I know my thoughts get real bizarre

Madeline, when can we run away?

When the lights go down in the city you rarely see

There's a harmony inside me

Singing you are a walking dream

I wish you could see what I see
