[Verse 1]

Time was when you were all I had

I'm running for a doorway

It's raining, I feel sad

You were the one to say don't worry

You were the one to say go on and try

You were the one to say don't hurry home

I love you


[Verse 2]

Two lovers kiss and I walk by

Reminded what I'm missing

I turn my head and cry

I look above the sky and ocean

I look at painted canvas on a hill

You are my poetry in motion

And I love you


[Verse 3]

Turning away from eyes I meet

I look up at a stoplight

Look down and cross the street

And I remember how my name sounds

And I remember feeling safe at home

I look at windows of this strange town

And I see you


[Verse 4]

I pack my bags and wait in linе

Sigh out loud, stand straight

Mark the time

Everyonе rushing to get somewhere

Everyone pushing by me on the stair

And then I smile and say I'm there right now

I love you

I love you I do
