If only they knew

The rain outside becomes the soundtrack to my thoughts
Drifting away, drifting away from this crowded city,
I'm sitting by myself
We both know I'm not alone.

There's something in the air that makes me feel so empty.
Maybe it's the rain or the fact that you're not here to kiss me beneath this clouded sky
and we both know why.

If we could stand a little closer next time so our hearts can beat in tandem.
If we could show the city lovers at their best.
If only they knew, if only they knew.

The vibration from the cell phone on the dashboard brings back memories (brings back memories)
of when you were in Boston and I was home in New York.
A lonely boy still clinging to a kiss.
And New Year's came and went with barely a whisper.
The words unspoken replayed a melody (replayed a melody)
When seeing you's the only way to know, to know you're not a dream.

If we could stand a little closer next time so our hearts can beat in tandem.
If we could show the city lovers at their best.
If only they knew, if only they know.
If only they know, if only they know.

My eyes can see (my eyes can see)
my heart still knows you're my everything, you're my everything.

My eyes can see (my eyes can see)
my heart still knows you're my everything, you're my everything.

If we could stand a little closer next time so our hearts can beat in tandem.
If we could show the city lovers at their best.
If only they knew, if only they knew.
