about

I really just wasn’t in the mood that night
You know it’s crazy what people will do out of habit
I tensed up and teared up, what a sight
I couldn’t tell you why i felt so tragic

I keep finding myself in new places, new countries, new states
Looking for something that i can come home to and call my babe
And we both know that i will have to leave
After a whole year of distance, could it ever really be the same?

And I tried to tell you, but instead i told you in Spanish
So you couldn’t understand, so I couldn’t feel embarrassed
I sang a song directly to you, but you didn’t get it
And it wasn’t even mine, I’ve written better rhymes, but I just couldn’t say it

And I have known this before on a smaller scale
So i can barely imagine how this time will make me feel
Inventing, recording, replaying scenarios in my head
And maybe I’m crazy, but lazy, can i just stay with you instead

And I tried to tell you, but instead i told you in Spanish
So you couldn’t understand, so I couldn’t feel embarrassed
I sang a song directly to you, but you didn’t get it
And it wasn’t even mine, I’ve written better rhymes, but I just couldn’t say it

You said babe talk to me, I said don’t look at me
Don't make me cry in front of you first
I said let’s go to sleep, you said don’t be afraid of me
Baby, you're only just making it worse

And I tried to tell you, but instead i told you in Spanish
So you couldn’t understand, so I couldn’t feel embarrassed
I sang a song directly to you, but you didn’t get it
And it wasn’t even mine, I’ve written better rhymes, but I just couldn’t say it
