Lyrics
I loved you across an ocean
New York to the Fylde Coast
Heavy feet and your conviction
You wanted to reap the most
Why is it every time, your stubborn ways don't protect us both
And I gave myself to win you on the way
Used to dream I's sat beside you, every plane, bus, car, or train
Next to you I found my peace & I lost it all the same
When the world died, you took me in, that march of senior year
Your mother was my family and each night you'd hold me dear
By October you were eastbound to England, by April west to Ohio
I'd pay anything to be wrapped in your arms
Oh god you were my antidote
Why is it every time, your stubborn ways don't protect us both
And I gave myself to win you on the way
Used to dream I's sat beside you, every plane, bus, car, or train
Next to you I found my peace & I lost it all the same
Four years I fought to prove to you we were inseparably intertwined
But you never thought of consulting me with the new job on the line
With your missteps and all my regrets, how I cried in Portofino
You knew plane-side and looking back I tried
But those suburbs aren't where dreams go
Why is it every time, your stubborn ways don't protect us both
And I lost myself to win you on the way
Used to dream I's sat beside you, every plane, bus, car, or train
Next to you I found my peace and I wanted your last name
Hmmmmm
