I kissed somebody new last night
Filled with nerves and sweet red wine
Kissing her reminded me of you
A melancholic reminiscing
Not in the flavor of her lipstick
Nor the scent of unfamiliar perfume
Just never thought I'd know the feeling
Of mine and new lips meeting
Lips that lack the magic feel of yours
So I told her I'd be going
With the excuse of an early morning
When the thought of you's what cut our evening short
You know I'd have really loved you if you let me
A love that isn't ours just feels so empty
One ring and I'd answer if you called me
So tell me would you smile if you saw me
Take me back to D.C. afternoons
Everything and everyone
Leads me back
Leads me back to you
Oh
Staring into your eyes
Must be what it feels like
To be an astronaut looking back at Earth
The most amazing shade of blue
A sense of home tied to you
Somewhere in there I've seen all I'm worth
I kind of thought you would have called by now
We'd talk for hours and figure out
How to fight for something we both want
Cuz every dream of mine's a memory
I still feel you in my bedsheets
Nothing that I felt for you's been lost
You know I'd have really loved you if you let me
A love that isn't ours just feels so empty
One ring and I'd answer if you called me
So tell me would you smile if you saw me
Take me back to D.C. afternoons
Everything and everyone
Leads me back
Leads me back to you
Oh
