Well I was staring out the backseat window, driving on the Five
It looked like the edge of the world was burning down on my left side
And at a party the night before back in Oceanside
We wrote down what we loved
What we thought we did or wanted to
On little construction paper cut out hearts
And we strung them up on twine in Ericas living room
And we sat around outside
And we gave ourselves away around a fire
And it was Valentines Day
And at one point, I punched a hole through some conversation
I overheard, I crawled right in, as a girl had said
'Ive just got so much to do
Ive just got so much to see
And I got to do it while Im young
Oh Ive got to do it while Im free'
And I realized what she said was an excuse
What she probably wanted to say was so simple, so plain
Cause saying youve got a lot to do or see when youre still young
Means youre not happy where you are or with who youre with
And as I watched the fire burn us to the ground
As I watched the fire burn us to the ground
I realized it was true and I felt it too
I just wished I was back in Boston next to you
I just wished I was back in Boston next to you
I just wished I was back in Boston next to you
Valentine是day
