Ellie I've been thinking about the day that we met

On a train home from brooklyn with the stars overhead

The life was pouring out of you at least that's how it seemed

Staring out the window at nothing at all

As we slowed to a crawl

Ellie I've been thinking about the day that you left

Standing out on wyngate with the stars overhead

The love was pouring out of you in a curious way

Staring at the pavement as you told me to go

You said everyone knows ooh

I should have warned you when you let me in

My heart has layers that shed like old skin

I never was one to ask what could have been oh

Ellie I've been thinking about the day that we met

Those summers down in brooklyn that I'll never forget

The light was pouring down on you it put a gleam in your eye

I'm staring at the pavement

With nothing to say

The love that we chased ooh
