[Verse 1]
We took a weekend, drove to Provo
The snow was white and fluffy
A weekend in Utah won't fix what's wrong with us
The gray sky was vast and real cryptic above me
[Refrain]
I wanted you
To love me like you used to do
[Verse 2]
We took two weeks in the Bahamas
Went out dancing every night
Tried to fight the creeping sense of dread with temporal things
Most of the time I guess I felt alright
[Refrain]
But I wanted you
To love me like you used to do
[Chorus 1]
But you cannot run
And you cannot hide
From the wreck we've made of our house
From the mess inside
[Verse 3]
We went down to New Orleans
One weekend in the spring
Looked hard for what we'd lost
It was painful to admit it but we couldn't find a thing
[Refrain]
I wanted you
To love me like you used to do
[Verse 4]
We went to New York City in September
Took the train out of Manhattan to the Grand Army stop
Found that bench we'd sat together on a thousand years ago
When I felt such love for you I thought my heart was gonna pop
[Refrain]
I wanted you
To love me like you used to do
[Chorus 2]
But I cannot run
And I can't hide
From the wreck we've made of our house
From the mess inside
