Consider this a letter that I never sent 
However inconsiderate it seems 
Do you still consider me, 
consider me the boy you laughed with 
or that you learned to live without?... I suck, 
I know I'm late, 
I know you waited 

You wouldn't get me on the phone 
And you couldn't make me not alone 

My phone bills stacked up by my bedside, 
with your picture, you're looking surprised 
You're what makes New England so great 
My island nights are all spent dying 
Wait for summer to become wrought with lips, 
my wishful thinking 

You wouldn't get me on the phone 
And you couldn't make me not alone 
(Yeah you wouldn't get me) 
Yeah you're a blue eyed lightning bolt 
(You wouldn't get me) 
I'm a national phenomenon 
(You wouldn't get me on the phone) 
Nothing's absolutely definite til it's absolutely, definitely gone (definitely gone) 

I never thought this day would end (never thought this day would end) 
I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me (close to me) 
So let my hands stray past that boundaries of your back 
to get you breathing (get you breathing) 
And get this started (get this started) 

You wouldn't get me, you wouldn't get me
You wouldn't get me on the phone 
(Yeah, you wouldn't get me) 
Yeah you're a blue eyed lightning bolt 
(You wouldn't get me) 
I'm a national phenomenon 
(You couldn't make me not alone) 
Nothing's absolutely definite til it's gone
