Well, you know I just wanted to cry
When I finally touched your face
The room felt like a womb
Where we could sleep and be born over
The courtyard lights and fountain
Looked like Christmas from above
The streets were snowy
We were going
Out in scarves and gloves

I jested
I joked
But I loved you in Roanoke
So when I got back home
I swore that town had ruined me

If I'd wanted an uncomplicated life
I shoulda stayed right back home
If I'd wanted a fascinating end
I shoulda hung with you in New York
You sat at the Algonquin
Sipping cabernets all night
I felt sick but sweet
In the middle seat
Of a crowded Newark flight

I sweated
Till soaked
I pictured us in Roanoke
In that tiny airport lounge
You were kidding when you said, Marry me

If I'd wanted to one-up you ironic
I shoulda slept in on Groundhog Day
But I stayed up so late talking to you
I fell asleep in my own shadow
We said goodbye to Hoppie
And closed down the basement bar
It was like I'd died
We took our luggage outside
And waited for our car

You smirked, yeah
You smoked
A suite in Hotel Roanoke
Was where we drifted off
And I loved you
Till that dream was over

And I knew it was a dream
Cuz why else would we be singing
