Begin Again

Took a deep breath in the mirror

He didn't like it

when I wore high heels but I do

Turn the lock and

put my headphones on

He always said he

didn't get this song but I do I do

Walked in expecting you'd be late

But you got here early

and you stand and wave

I walk to you

You pull my chair out

and help me in

And you don't know

how nice that is but I do

And you throw your head

back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think

I'm funny 'cause he never did

I've been spending

the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does

is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a cafe

I watched it begin again

You said you never

met one girl who

Had as many James Taylor

records as you but I do

We tell stories and

you don't know why

I'm coming off a little shy but I do

But you throw your head

back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that

you think I'm funny

'cause he never did

I've been spending

the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does

is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a cafe

I watched it begin again

And we walked down

the block to my car

And I almost brought him up

But you start to talk

About the movies

that your family watches

Every single Christmas

and I will talk about that

And for the first time

what's past is past

'Cause you threw your head

back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that

you think I'm funny

'cause he never did

I've been spending

the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does is

break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a cafe

I watched it begin again

But on a Wednesday in a cafe

I watched it begin again
