Would you be the one who got away
If I was the first to let go
I wanted to ask in person
But we both already know

See, on a night much like tonight
I was knuckles to your door
I was in your part of town
A town I'd never seen before

I thought that I'd stop by real quick
Since the walk wasn't too far
Just had to pay my driver
And go two blocks from the car

He'd only gone about 12 miles
Farther than I bought
But considering the time of night
I was all the airport brought

And at your step I finally saw
Just how strange this all would be
Since same-day flights are costly
And you weren't expecting me

I had half a mind to knock just once
But I knew that you'd come down
So instead I'll leave a note behind
"Take care. See you around."
