lyrics

The first time I saw you was at Price-Chopper with your roommate whom my roommate was fond of, but I paid you no mind for I had a little blonde girlfriend at the time.

When she broke my little heart was the first chance I took out of Troy, New York.

But, You're not who I thought I would fall in love with when I moved to Vermont, but I did
And felt like it was real and I swore that I wouldn't trust this feeling
But I did

And The sun set for us that day and I bought you ice cream on the way home
You dipped yours on my nose and we laughed it off

Us lovers get sick of each other and Ex-lovers get love-sick

But I'll never forget that white morning when we held each other close because there was a draft from your window and I told you I would; I would stay. And that I do, I do love you

Two years later, I wish I had said it again

So, I guess this is goodbye
I wish I had the words at the time to change your mind, but I
Thought about it once you left
And I told myself I wouldn't be so scared, but I am

I can't slay these giants without you

I don't want to say "Goodbye"
I wish I said the words at the time to change your mind, but I
Was too late, you're a state away
And I told myself I wouldn't be so scared, but I
Can't slay these giants without you
