Текст пісні
You said your middle name was tragic
And it was stitched into the fabric of your shirt
But by god it felt like magic when we sang it back to you on April 1st
I know you've heard it all before
But I've been trying to be more careful with my words
I'm just trying to say I love you without it ever feeling so rehearsed
I met you in summer weather
Wearing an ugly christmas sweater in July
You assured me I'd feel better so I relented
And I stayed with you that night
We had a spirited discussion about
The lasting repercussions of that night
I'm just trying to say i love you,
Hoping that this time I get it right
You handed me my heart back
Bought a ticket for that amtrak rode away
Standing on that tarmac
I checked it for an expiration date
There's not a night that ends without me wishing
That I had been with you that day
I'm just trying to say i love you because
By now there are no other words to say
I let my hair grow to my shoulders
Kept my beard to feel a little older than i was
You told me this would all blow over
By the 18th of October sure enough
I'm not the man you think I am
But maybe you can see what I'll become
I'm just trying to say I love you
And hoping that this time it will be enough
