My Morning Jacket - You're a Big Girl Now lyrics

Our conversation was short and sweet
It nearly swept me off-a my feet
And I'm out in the rain
Mmm, and you are on dry land
Mmm, you made it there somehow
You're a big girl now

Bird on the horizon, sitting on a fence
He's singing his song for me
At his own expense
And I'm just like that bird
Oh, singing just for you
Mmm, and I hope that you can hear
Hear me singing through these tears

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame if
All we've shared can't last
I can change, I swear
Oh, see what you can do
Mmm, I can make it through
You can make it too

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase
You've known it all the time
I'm learning it these days
Oh, I know where I can find you
Oh, in somebody's room
Mmm, it's a price I have to pay
You're a big girl all the way

A change in the weather is
Known to be extreme
What's the sense of changing
Horses in midstream?
I'm going out of my mind
Oh, with a pain that stops and starts
Mmm, like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we've been apart
