I caught you at the baseball game
You wore your hat the backwards way
I held a hotdog in my hand
You stood still waiting at the stand
Soda cans and plastic wrap between us
Cheering fans, American flags, deceive us
And I don't want to say, "I'm sorry," unless I have to
I don't want to say, "I love you," unless it's to you
I caught you at the bar too late
You wore your shoes the untied way
I held a dishrag in my hand
You stood still calling for a cab
District zones and traffic cones between us
Empty homes and dial tones deceive us
And I don't want to say, "I'm sorry," unless I have to
I don't want to say, "I love you," unless it's to you
Remember when we sat with our legs crossed on top of my bed
I didn't know the card game, so you taught me how to shuffle the deck
I looked at you. You looked up to the pink stars I glued to the wall
Then we said our first goodbye behind the orange U-Haul
Orange U-Haul
Orange U-Haul
Aren't you all
Aren't you all
I need
I caught you at the airport gate
You wore your shirt the tucked in way
I held my husband by the hand
You stood still staring at the man
Address tags on carry on bags between us
Joint bank plans and wedding bands deceive us
And I don't want to say, "I'm sorry," unless I have to
And I don't want to say, "I love you," unless it's to you
I don't want to say, "I'm sorry," unless I have to
I don't want to say, "I love you," unless it's to you
