Lyrics
My love
Expressing affection or endearment
I would like very much to apologize
Expressing a strong desire to apologize
My love
Reiteration of affection or endearment
I won't lie
Acknowledging honesty and sincerity
Sometimes I think I should have stayed
Reflecting on a decision to leave, possibly with regret
'Cause I still think about
Continuing thoughts about a past relationship
Sitting with you, common room
Recalling a shared moment in a common room
Asking me now to tell the truth
Being asked to tell the truth
Pool table leaning against the wall
Visualizing a pool table against a wall
Inside I am trying to numb it all
Internally trying to cope with emotions
'Cause I can't find my home
Expressing a feeling of being lost and without a home
I'm lost without it
Emphasizing the importance of finding one's home
I can't find my way back
Struggling to find a way back
Back without it
Expressing a desire to return to Boston
Back to Boston without it
Highlighting the connection of Boston with home
Back to Boston without
Repetition of the theme of being without Boston
Boston without
Further emphasis on the absence of Boston
Boston without (Ah ah ah)
Repeating the emotional impact of being without Boston
Back to Boston without
Expressing a desire to go back to Boston
Boston without
Reiteration of the emotional connection with Boston
Boston without (Ah ah ah)
Continued emotional resonance with Boston
My love
Reaffirming affection or endearment
I could say
Contemplating the possibility of finding a solution
There's a way to make sense of this
Expressing uncertainty about understanding the situation
But I don't know why
Reflecting on the unfolding of events
It played it out like it did
Acknowledging the unpredictable nature of the situation
They say there's a reason
Referring to the belief in a greater purpose or explanation
A reason for everything
Acknowledging the existence of reasons for life events
Even now, I still think about
Continuing thoughts about a past relationship
Holding your hand on the porch step
Recalling a specific intimate moment
Up in the loft trying to worry less
Trying to reduce worry in a specific context
Walking from Cambridge to Brookline
Recalling a journey from Cambridge to Brookline
If I'd had the words, I would have told you that
Expressing a desire to communicate feelings if possible
I can't find my home
Reiteration of feeling lost and without a home
I'm lost without it
Reemphasizing the importance of finding a home
I can't find my way back
Struggling to find a way back emotionally
Back without it
Expressing a desire to return to Boston emotionally
Back to Boston without it
Reiterating the emotional connection with Boston
Back to Boston without
Continued expression of the desire to return to Boston
Boston without
Repetition of the emotional impact of being without Boston
Boston without (Ah ah ah)
Further emphasis on the absence of Boston emotionally
Back to Boston without
Expressing a desire to go back to Boston emotionally
Boston without
Reiteration of the emotional connection with Boston
Boston without (Ah ah ah)
Continued emotional resonance with Boston
