Lyrics
Driving in a taxi, from La Guardia
New York City never looked so beautiful
Watching children play on your east village block
Walking up the broken stairs to your apartment
I feel home
Thinking what you?re gonna do when you see me
Hoping that you never found somebody else
It?s been almost two years since I ran away
I ring the bell, you open up the door in shock
And I say
Here I am, asking you to take me back
Here I am, wondering why I ever left
I have traveled across oceans to avoid the thought of you
I have seen the world twice over to escape the love we knew
But I never felt as happy as I feel when I?m with you
So Here I am
Usually I can see right through your heart
But I am getting interference from my head
It doesn?t look like you will ever understand
I shake my head and turn to walk right down the stair
You grab my hand
Here I am, asking you to take me back
Here I am, wondering why I ever left
I have traveled across oceans to avoid the thought of you
I have seen the world twice over to escape the love we knew
But I never felt as happy as I feel when I?m with you
So Here I am
Take me back, Darlin, Take me back to what we had
We were in love, so much in love it got me scared
I want to wrap my arms around you & feel the love we had before,
But you will break my heart in pieces if you turn & close that door
Here I am, asking you to take me back
Here I am, wondering why I ever left
I have traveled across oceans to avoid the thought of you
I have seen the world twice over to escape the love we knew
But I never felt as happy as I feel when I?m with you
So Here I am
Here I am
