Friends fall out of love
When things get difficult
Lovers move out of home
When things get difficult
Parents and kids fight
When things get difficult
But I'm right where you left me
Standing at my New York studio
Trying to write a song about you
Standing still above my troubles
Trying to write it all in a notebook
Standing at my king-sized bed
Trying to remind myself of you
'Cause I'm right where you left me
I once wrote about love
Thought love was a mystery
But as soon as I met Aaron
I knew love was as easy as this
I once wrote about loving
Thought love was a mystery
But as soon as I met him
I knew love was easy as this
Friends help their friends
When they need some help
Lovers support lovers
When they need to stand up
Parents help their kids
When they need advices
And I see you right where you left me
I remember your mannerisms
Trying to hear your music
I remember that you're missing
While listening your voicemail
I remember your good-looking
While looking at our pictures
And you come right where you left me
I once wrote about love
Thought love was a mystery
But as soon as I met Aaron
I knew I'd have to fight for it
I once wrote about loving
Thought love was a mystery
But as soon as I met him
I knew love could be easy
Your hurried steps towards me
Begging for some kind of forgiveness
Tears streaming down your cheeks
'Cause you feared your inner self
You couldn't assume your feelings
Before they came out in full bloom
I'm not 23, I'm not that ingenuous
I'm not like the girl in the restaurant
Who waited forever for her lover
And assumed he was faithful
But you're almost 45 on this Earth
Running out of time, but I'm hurt
I make you remember that dark night
When you sang to me 'til I fell asleep
You make me think of that damn night
Naked emotions in the bedpost's mirror
And we soon realize, maybe this is love
You soon realize we shouldn't discuss
The brief moments of insecurities
They don't matter anymore to this story
'Cause you're not a mystery anymore
I once wrote about past love
I said love was a mystery
But as soon as I met Aaron
I knew we could fight together
I once wrote about Aaron
Thought love was just past
But as soon as we got together
I knew love could be worth it
