lyrics

Remember the time that I met you downtown
At a dive bar at quarter to ten
We talked for hours but mostly in silence
So awkward a tension to break
I met your friends and your friends met mine
They said, ‘what you doing here, girl?’

I could’ve been
Thousands of things
But I’m only myself
I could’ve been
Thousands of things
But I heard you sing a song for me

All of these people are waiting for someone
Until it’s too late to get a chance
At something that’s better, at something at all
No wonder you were so hard to find

I could’ve been
Thousands of things
But I’m only myself
I could’ve been
Thousands of things
But I heard you sing a song for me
