September sun, a faded plaid dress

Number ten on the gate, I was such a mess

You had chocolate eyes in the morning light

A quiet storm, a future burning bright

We learned to write our names in the same old book

That you were the one, I knew just by the look

Then a few years passed, I said "come on in"

My own little world, with the blinds pulled thin

You walked inside and made everything right

Pixel dreams keeping us awake at night

Cherry coke and CRT screens

Living in a world of our own making

You're the only one who knows what I'm saying

Through every fight, every silent night

You were the signal in the static light

You're the smartest girl I've ever known

With a mind like fire, a heart like home
