[Verse 1]
Crying while we're breaking up, yeah
But only 'cause it's what I'm supposed to
Do when someone says it's done now
Even if it's what I wanted
[Chorus]
I remember when you drove to Philly just to see me
Now tell me, would you drive to Philly just to see me? (Would you?)
[Verse 2]
Sleeping under all the flowers
You sent the day before you left me
And after the initial anger (Initial anger)
I realized that I never loved you
[Chorus]
I'm just wondering if he drove to Philly just to see me (Just to)
Damn, I hope he drove to Philly just to see me
And we were
[Verse 3]
Playing board games in the lobby
To stop myself from going upstairs
There's someone stood across the ocean
Waiting for me to come home
[Refrain]
But I wanna go up so bad, he knows it
I wanna go up so bad, he knows it
[Bridge]
Just to be alone for an hour with him
Just to be here on my own for an hour with him
And I've been waiting all year
And I've been waiting since I sent him away
But I'd never tell you that, that
It has been on my mind, I been running around, I been running around, insane
I been thinking of you and I been thinking of him
And I been thinking of him and
What was I waiting on?
I didn't know he was right, thought you were good, I
Wrong thing, wrong time, wrong place, I don't know it now
[Verse 4]
Waking up five times a night, yeah (Five times a night)
Just so I could feel him hold me
And even though he's sleeping through it
I can't believe we finally got here
[Chorus]
And I'm wondering if he drove to Philly just to see me
Doesn't matter if he drove to Philly just to see me (Doesn't matter, doesn't matter, doesn't matter now)
[Verse 5]
Tell him, "Stay another night," yeah (Just stay another night)
Paris, just a little longer (Just a little longer)
Let's stretch this out a little while (A little while)
I want back all the things I lost then
[Chorus]
Can't remember if he drove to Philly just to see me (Tell me, did you?)
Oh, I think he drove to Philly just to see me
(I think, I think he, I think, I think he—)

Someone once sent me flowers and then broke up with me less than 24 hours after they arrived. I remember going to sleep under three bouquets of flowers and just thinking ‘this is too ridiculous to be true, I have to write it down!’. The song basically wrote itself from there; it’s me thinking throug...
