I broke my promise 
that I wouldn't write another song about you 
I guess I lied, after twelve years I still love you 
On the phone you sound happy but a heart can cry 
And you don't see the tears 

I'm glad you went back 

The California sun always shines but 
San Francisco is a cold place 
To have a run of bad luck 
Everyone likes to shine their little flashlights in your face 

I'm glad you went back

The blue blue sky is made of butcher knives 
And everyone you meet is wearing some stupid disguise 
In Columbus there's no spotlight to dazzle your eyes 
I hope you find someone who loves you 
'Cause only love will save you 

I broke my promise 'cause I've missed you for so long 
I can feel you in my life when you're happy 
No matter where you are

I'm glad you went back
