the cover Lyrics

I'm looking at the picture I took that night

Driving 'round German highways in the fading light

You made my heart beat faster

Than the car swerving through the fields

I had forgotten how good life with you could feel

And we knew we'd have a home together in a few good months

And we laughed at the crazy things we went through at the start

And I remember thinking how one day I'd tell this story with you

To anyone who cared to hear what we'd been through

If only I could go back to the way things were

Laughing in the car, making our own adventure

It felt good to see you by my side and know you'd always be there

I had forgotten how good life with you could feel

And we might have broke a couple laws, young and wild and free

And you said you couldn't wait to get to spend your life with me

And I remember thinking how one day I'd tell this story with you

To anyone who cared to hear what we'd been through

But we're not in this photo

It's reserved for us

But I'll distort this photo

You distorted us

If I distort this photo

It can be a dream

I can make believe that

It was never real

If I was only dreaming

What does that make us?

I slept for six years

But I woke up
