I'm done being vague about falling in love When I sing the word you, I want them to know She broke my heart but it wasn't her fault Cause you don't get to choose who loves you I hit every green light driving from the city back to New Jersey I guess they didn't want me to stay Living in close proximity makes you want to reach out to former flames But I'll be across the Hudson keeping away Cause I fell in love with her once and I would do it again Cause I fell in love with her once and I would do it again I'm done wasting away in that apartment with half a month's rent money I gave up my youth for a careless pursuit and I'm wondering if my motives have changed Night after night I spin through the suburbs, the parkway knows my name I'm talking to strangers and pretending they don't play a couple of miles away Cause I fell in love with her once and I would do it again Cause I fell in love with her once and I would do it again I'm done wasting away in that apartment with half a month's rent money I gave up my youth for a careless pursuit and I'm wondering if my motives have changed Takes my hand between her fingers, stares at the wall and explains You don't get to choose who loves you You don't get to choose who loves you There's no one in the city who could ever stand above you You don't get to choose who loves you Cause I fell in love with her once and I would do it again Cause I fell in love with her once and I would do it again I'm done wasting away in that apartment with half a month's rent money I gave up my youth for a careless pursuit and I'm wondering if my motives have changed
