I'd Like To Think

I met you on the 4th of July
I knew you were his friend but I couldn't keep my eye off of you
Your black jacket, voice too shy
So I kissed him goodbye
Cause I was falling in love with you
A little too young and naïve to know
That I'd be finding love
That would make me walk on tightrope for you
You were my greatest story
But now, six years later
We're here and the chapter has ended too soon
But I'd like to think

That I'm the one that you miss for the rest of your life
When you see her you wish it was me the night
Never go without hoping no one else is in my life
I'd like to think
That every song you play reminds you of me
Every car ride home you want to cross my street
Find me in rooms you thought I'd always be

I took the morning train to New York
Somewhere further away
So I could keep my mind off of you
I'm a long wait for the steady love
A run from the obligation
I'll never erase the trace of you
I knew it was the last time I heard
You say my name softly
I don't think I'll find a love like you
So every street in this town keeps reminding me of how
Our love wasn't meant for the applause

But I'd like to think
That I'm the one that you miss for the rest of your life
When you see her you wish it was me the night
Never go without hoping no one else is in my life
I'd like to think
That every song you play reminds you of me
Every car ride home you want to cross my street
Find me in rooms you thought I'd always be

I'll miss every summer
I spent in your arms
Kissing in the backseat of your car
Hiding from my mom when you'd drop me off
You're a flight risk who left a scar
I know you'll find someone else to do that with
I'll be dancing with someone new again
And if time is kind we'll both forget
We were ever in the same place or time

But I'd like to think
That I'm the one that you miss for the rest of your life
When you see her you wish it was me the night
Never go without hoping no one else is in my life
I'd like to think
That every song you play reminds you of me
Every car ride home you want to cross my street
Find me in rooms you thought I'd always be

I'll miss every summer
I spent in your arms
Hiding from my mom when you drop me off

Met you on the 4th of July
I know you were his friend but I couldn't keep my eye off of you
