With the sunset point of view
Somethin' 'bout holdin' on
'Til her belt loop days are due
There's somethin' 'bout a front porch avenue coffee
With the one you love the most
There's nothin' like holdin' on
Holdin' on, don't get old
With someone, I never wanna let go
Someone I'm not scared to show
The feelings I don't know
'Cause baby, your love is heaven on earth
And they thought we was never gonna work
That ain't true, oh
There's just somethin' 'bout you
Honey, I don't mind if we get away, spend a little time, oh
That there would be nice
We could leave the windows down, let the wind blow
Drive around town, fall in love with nowhere, oh
'Cause holdin' you feel like home
With someone, I never wanna let go
Someone I'm not scared to show
The feelings I don't know
'Cause baby, your love is heaven on earth
And they thought we was never gonna work
That ain't true, oh
There's just somethin' 'bout you
You
So when I'm halfway through the bottle
And I don't wanna see tomorrow
Hold me close
Don't let go
You're someone I never wanna let go
Someone I'm not scared to know
The feelings I don't know
Baby, your love is heaven on earth
And they thought we was never gonna work
That ain't true, oh
There's just somethin' 'bout you
You
