I’m pacing the streets
Where our story begins
On a pale autumn day
It was a day just like this
I’m back at the corner
Where you used to wait for me
Down by the place where we
Made our first memories

We smiled at each other
Your skin was so cold
And I swore I had never seen
You more beautiful
A few stolen glances
We stayed out in the rain
Could we just go back there again

To that day, that day
When I came to see
It was our time, our beginning
The end of the wait
Oh I wish I could go back to
Where I was heading on
That day

I can’t help but wonder
Every now and then
If I hadn’t spoken
Would we have kept going
Your number is still here
On my fingertips
Like a forbidden secret
That shouldn’t exist

I know that I loved you
I know that I tried
But the kind that will keep
You awake in the night
It just doesn’t make sense
And time after time I was trying
To get back there again

To that day, that day
When I came to see
It was our time, our beginning
The end of the wait
Oh I wish I could go back to
Where I was heading on
That day

I know that I loved you
I know that I tried
But the kind that will keep
You awake in the night
It just doesn’t make sense
And time after time I was
Trying to get back
Dying to get back there again

To that day, that day
When I came to see
It was our time, our beginning
The end of the wait
Oh I wish I could go back to
Where I was heading on
That day
