about
I visited my friend Justin in Whistler and when we came home to his flat after dinner out (and with his new girlfriend), Justin's old, old girlfriend greeted us from his couch. She was visiting from Ontario, had left a message and made a few other assumptions that sparked what was very awkward (and heartbreaking) night...
lyrics
Back when I knew you in school,
And I could be who you wanted me to
And you would gaze head over heels, from across the room, hopin’
No one’d see you and me this way
And I miss those days because, I had you all to myself (x2)
I called but you weren’t home
I left you a message
I’m coming over, I’ll
Be on your couch when you arrive
From across this country I’ll arrive - surprise
No fair warning, I thought you
Would need me as badly as I need you
I never counted on you being so happy without me on your mind
I can’t believe I raced across this huge country to be with you tonight
Is it okay if I just bawl, alone and out of your sight
Just get me on a bus and forget I ever came here tonight
And I could be who you wanted me to
And you would gaze head over heels, from across the room, hopin’
No one’d see you and me this way
And I miss those days because, I had you all to myself (x2)
I called but you weren’t home
I left you a message
I’m coming over, I’ll
Be on your couch when you arrive
From across this country I’ll arrive - surprise
No fair warning, I thought you
Would need me as badly as I need you
I never counted on you being so happy without me on your mind
I can’t believe I raced across this huge country to be with you tonight
Is it okay if I just bawl, alone and out of your sight
Just get me on a bus and forget I ever came here tonight
