You Just Had to Be There

[Intro]
This can't be what everybody's talking about

[Verse 1]
I thought it'd pass me by
Out the window of a high-speed rail
We were young as hell
I'd chipped my teeth
I'd pierced my veil
And I found you
And every fiber in my body found you too
But what is love but something new
God, it hurts to be true

[Chorus]
Oh
It's a whole lot of memories from the back of the bus
Oh
Sorry, but I always thought a lot about us
It's a whole lot of memories, I guess I could share
But for most of them, you just had to be there

[Verse 2]
And sometimes I get the urge to call you up, say, "How you feeling?
Is your father doing better?
Did he ever fix the ceiling?
Is your dog on the porch?
We just lost mine
So love what you love when you got time"
If there's a picture in a frame and you find me
If there's a song that you hear that's reminding
If there's a time and a place, you know I'll be
Waiting for you in the backseat

[Chorus]
Oh
It's a whole lot of memories from the back of the bus
Oh
Sorry, but I always thought a lot about us
It's a whole lot of memories, I guess I could share
But for most of them you just had to be there

[Bridge]
You say, you say so
You say, you say so
You say, you say so
I can't, I can't go
You say, I say so
You say, I say so
I guess I can go
I guess I
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

[Chorus]
Oh
It's a whole lot of memories from the back of the bus
Oh
Sorry, but I always thought a lot about us
It's a whole lot of memories, I guess I could share
But for most of them you just had to be there

[Outro]
You say, I say so
You say, I say so
I guess I can go
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
