BOSTON Lyrics

12 tickets in Boston

I would have forgotten

But an old man once said to me

"Hold tight to the cotton

That covers your heart and

Never let go of that feeling

Cuz it slowly fades

And you'll wish you were there

Tugging at the seams

Of the fibers you shared."

12 tickets in Boston

Is enough to care

I never wanted to draw a line in the sand

Shoot so high, I always end up in the trash can

But I catch myself head down with a stick in my hand

So maybe once in a while, I'll cancel my plans

Turn around and ponder what I can't understand

Yeah, the best is yet to come

But look at where we stand

5 friends in a new town

I've been here a while now

I thought that I'd know the whole city

Sometimes when we go out

The boys say, "You know 'bout

Half of the zip code already."

But I'm missing home

The familiar air;

The kind that never placed

Too much pressure to bear

But, 5 friends in a new town

Is an answered prayer

I never wanted to draw a line in the sand

Shoot so high, I always end up in the trash can

But I catch myself head down with a stick in my hand

So maybe once in a while, I'll cancel my plans

Turn around and ponder what I can't understand

Yeah, the best is yet to come

But look at where we stand

Oh, oh, oh

"Could it ever get better than this?"

Is what I'm asking from the sidelines

Should I pull the plug or give it a kiss?

Cuz I'm caught within the confines

Of a standard that I've made up

Full of calculated fake love

Or was it always part of me that I missed?

I never wanted to draw a line in the sand

Shoot so high, I always end up in the trash can

But I catch myself head down with a stick in my hand

So maybe once in a while, I'll cancel my plans

Turn around and ponder what I can't understand

Yeah, the best is yet to come

But look at where we stand
