Begin Again

Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore high heels, but I do
Turned the lock and put my headphones on
He always said he didn't get this song but I do, I do

Walked in expecting you'd be late

But you got here early
And you stand and wait
And I walk to you
You pulled my chair out and helped me
And you don't know how nice that is
But I do

And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny ‘cause he never did
I've been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café I watched it begin again

You said you never met one girl
Who had as many James Taylor records as you
But I do
We tell stories and you don't know why I’m coming off a little shy
But I do

But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny ‘cause he never did
I've been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café I watched it begin again

And we walk down the block to my car

And I almost brought him up
But you start to talk about the movies
That your family watches every single Christmas
And I won’t talk about that
For the first time, what's past is past

‘Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny ‘cause he never did
I've been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn, and end
Then on a Wednesday in a café I watched it begin again
Then on a Wednesday in a café I watched it begin again
