you threw me a ball
a long time ago
underhand
and i still missed
if i had hit
a homerun
would we still have recently kissed?
you were a flirt
and i was too
luckily i got your name
and even though i had missed
i was hoping for a second pitch
back then i was spending my holidays in new york city
back then i was spending my time trying to get you out of my head
we went our ways
i stayed north
you went south to the windy city
far away from your pain
and i thought i'd never see you again
back then i was spending my holidays in new york city
back then i was spending my time pretending not to think about you
now i think i understand why our lives didn't go as planned
there was a reason, oh
now i think i understand
cause i'm spending every minute
every hour, every day
trying to rearrange my moments
just to get another gaze
upon you
oh i'm spending my weekends with you
i'm stressed out and exhausted
i'm stretched thin and distracted
i'm sleeping half of what i need
on a bed that's cold and busted
i'm half the man i'm supposed to be
because my other half is stranded
without you
oh i'm spending my weekend with you
now i think i understand, why life didn't go as planned
i went to spain, i went down under, i went to new york
i went to out west, i went down south, and east through newark
but i wondered
if i'd followed through
what would've happend with you?
then one day
out of the blue
i reached out and made some plans with you
of visits
of roadtrips
i was staying in chicago with you
back then i was spending my holidays being down
back then i was spending my extra time spinning my wheels round and round
