Inheritance Lyrics by Jon Foreman

The Wonderlands: Darkness & Dawn

2015

[Verse 1]
I remember when we first started
Those Tennessee summer nights
From your little Brentwood apartment
With 10 cent wings for the drive
We fell in love long distance
Back in the payphone times
We didn't have nothing to offer each other
Except for the rest of our lives

And our home was our story
Yah our home was our story alone

[Chorus]
Your heart is a work of art
I wanna be rich in memories not money
Our love is our inheritance honey
We've come so far
I wanna be rich in memories not money
Our love is our inheritance
Our inheritance honey

[Verse 2]
I was working up a conversation
But I didn't know how to start
Cause I didn't think you had the patience
And I didn't think you had the heart
I was looking for salvation in the desert convent stars
And our dead-end communication was only driving us a part

Yah so what are the chances that we survive
Even fall in love a second time
Honey you and I we got the storyline of a lifetime

[Chorus]
Your heart is a work of art
I wanna be rich in memories not money
Our love is our inheritance honey
We've come so far
I wanna be rich in memories not money
Our love is our inheritance
Our inheritance honey

Yah our inheritance honey
And our home is our story
Yah our world's always rearranging
Everytime we go on tour

We grew up as slow as we wanted too honey

But we're not the kids that we were
I can still remember that first sunrise
Holding you near me for the first time
Your heart is a work of art
I wanna be rich in memories not money
Our love is our inheritance honey
We've come so far
I wanna be rich in memories not money
Our love is our inheritance
Our inheritance honey
Yah our inheritance honey
Yah our inheritance honey
