Occupied he didn’t even play the drums that well
And your big green eyes telling me to go to bed
Me and Tina we don’t talk that much anymore
Telling me she’s kissing three different guys on the first date

Tell me baby, why did you say I was the only one you wanted?
You made me hate the only reason that I wanted to go back to Boston
Now the lights don’t feel the same and you got a different name
It’s a phrase that I don’t hear often
But I’m glad that I’m not going to Boston anyway

In the flooded basement, Adri told me how you felt Sitting out on the docks when I got quiet
Then you showed me a song that you wanted to write
And I said that I liked it
But I lied!
I lied for you

Tell me baby, why did you say I was the only one you wanted? (I was never honest)
You made me hate the only reason that I wanted to go back to Boston (now tell me why)
Now the lights don't feel the same
Kinda hated how I stayed
It’s a phrase that I don’t hear often
But I’m glad that I’m not going to Boston anyway

Tell me baby, why did you say I was the only one you wanted
And I’m glad that we don’t talk feel like I was never honest
Now the lights don’t feel the same (Now you’re gone)
And you’ve got a different name (I was wrong)
That this city was all that I could’ve wanted
Now I'm glad that I’m not going to Boston anyway
To Boston anyway
