I told you I had to get away for a while,
That I'd be leaving soon.
I said I'd call you when I got there,
Think I said something about the moon.
I know I told you that I loved you,
To make sure you understood,
That nothing was your fault,
That I was doing what I could.
And when I got into the car,
And pushed the pedal to the floor,
I asked myself 'Will she remember?'
And then 'Are you sure?'
And driving down the interstate,
I found a little store.
And with a pocket full of spare change,
I stumbled in the door.


I picked up the phone and tapped in your number,
Sure of what I would say.
"I'm here in Maryland, headed for Caroline,
Calling to say I love you, and still want you for mine."
The phone rang once, and once again.
Then the machine and that monotonous tone.
And suddenly I lost my voice,
And just hung up the phone.
Again I climbed into the car, key in the ignition,
I turned the engine over once more,
And tears rolled in like the shore.
It wasn't 'til I hit Caroline,
That I heard anything of you,
And I thought 'I am so bad for you.'
But said "I want to see you soon."
I've talked to you ev'ry night since,
And we've made some crazy plans,
But know that I'd do anything,
To be able to hold your hand.
Everyday I dream about,
When I first kissed you that night,
Sweaty palms and shaking knees
Underneath that streetlight.
From pixie stixks and Mumbowl,
To 'I like you, too''s and 'Kiss me.''s
Now it's "What do we name the baby?"
And "Do you think we should get married?"
It's amazing you still love me,
After what I've put you through.
So I write this to let you know,
I could never not love you.
