lyrics

Still remember the buzz on the bus up to Boston
Asked my Lord, Was I makin' the right decision?
But, oh that morning, I looked upon the Hudson
Thought about all the lovers
Who had come before me
Makin' grand gestures
I was just carryin' on their legacy
'Cause I was on my way to win ya, honey

Rolled into the station
Run to hold you, darling
But I could tell something was different
'Cause you just stared at your sandwich
Then at the top of your stairs you had a secret to tell
Your statue self said, "There's somebody else."
I even got down on my knees

'Cause I could see my life unfold with you in it

I just wanted to hear from you "I'm right here,"
I just wanted to hear from you "Gonna stay right here."

'Cause I could see my life unfold with you in it
You couldn't see your life unfold with me in it
