I was hoping that you'd be there
Standing like you did on those stairs
But I want what I can't really have
Memories are foolin' me
And I know that you know that I romance hopelessly

Heading in with no time to spare
We saw the end and we didn't care
And I'm stuck here just wandering deep in a west side city
Still lookin' for you or the girl l used to need

But the promises we'd keep were broken by the sea
Said my calls never got through
So I waited there for you

But the promises we'd keep were broken by the sea
Said my calls never got through
So I waited there for you

Guess we left our love in the halls
Locked away in our time bomb
All I want is your arms and to find you out here
Desperately
Wish I knew where you were
Wish it went so differently

A wall of familiar faces
I look but I can't seem to find your traces
And I'm stuck here just wandering deep in a west side city
Still lookin' for you or the girl I used to need

But the promises we'd keep
Were broken by the sea
Said my calls never got through
So I waited there for you

But the promises we'd keep
Were broken by the sea
Said my calls never got through
So I waited there for you
