lyrics

You said I could take it back; sometimes I wish I had.

I would like to be with you, but I can’t do what you want me to.
I would like to stay in love with you, but I can’t do what we want me to.
I would like to live right here with you, but I can’t do what I want me to.

Two days and a trip across the Atlantic sky
was all it took for me not to be able to reply
those words to you.
“I love you.” “I love you, too.”

You think I’ve fallen behind.
It’s not true –you’re just not mine.

But if I had listened to you
I’d be living in Wisconsin,
taking care of your parents,
never wondering about the world outside of me,
but maybe I’d be more happy.

You picked out our house by the bay,
green shutters and bay windows,
where you captured my soul that day,
by the bay.
Soccer fields five minutes away
where our boys would play
by the bay.
Where I tore my quadricep
after the great contretemps
by the bay.

Never went back to those dorms.
You took me home.

Living in Wisconsin,
taking care of your parents,
never wondering about the world outside of me,
but, oh! I was so happy.

You said I could take it back; sometimes I wish I had.
You said I could take it back; most times I wish I had.
