I swear I was there
I must have waited hours for you
I swear I was there
I swear I was there
I must have waited hours for you
I swear I was there
Even went a little sour on you

I swear I was there
I can't believe you thought I forgot you
I swear I was there
I still have the flowers I brought you

And the wisteria tree was ignoring me
And the concrete under my feet boring me

I made it to the station
But the schedule had changed,
I tore my umbrella right before it rained
I guessed that I missed you or maybe you never showed
I waited there for hours and hours
I guess I’ll never know

And the setting sun said its work was all done
And 24 more cigarettes went in and out of my lungs
And the wisteria tree was ignoring me
The concrete under my feet boring me
I swear I was there, I swear I was there

Wait, why are you going over there
Wait, stay right here
Wait, why are you going over there
Wait, stay right here

6th avenue is buzzing; you know the way it does
I'm doing practically nothing except thinking about us
And the kitchen's have this leak and it's almost as if it's speaking about our love
About our love
Should I curse at myself like a car that won't start, should I cry out for some help from the bottom of this heart
Should stare out the window and watch New York distort in the dark
Oh baby, baby please, don't become a memory, a bittersweet piece of my history
Oh baby, baby please, don't become a sad song about how good love used to be
No don't become someone that I used to know, someone I used to love, some long time ago
Don’t become just someone I have to close my eyes to see
Oh baby, please, oh baby please
