Hey there, Delilah
What's in like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty

Your POV

"You look really pretty tonight," John said.

I giggled. "Stoppp! No I don't!"

I was currently up in New York City for college. John was all the way back in Chicago, a thousand miles away. We FaceTimed as often as we could. We both missed each other like crazy, and he was always asking how NYC was for me.

Yes, you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

"Yes you are! Times Square ain't got anything on you. It's true!"

I laughed. "Fine. Only because you seem to mean it."

Hey there, Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely

"I just wish there wasn't a thousand miles between us," I said sadly.

John smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. Distance is nothing. I'm there in my own way."

Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

"You mean because of that song you're writing, don't you?" I asked.

John nodded. "Yeah. Just listen to the pieces I've wrote so far. It's my way of staying by your side."

Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
Oh, it's what you do to me
What you do to me

"How the hell do you make me fall so in love with you?" John asked.

I snickered. "Magic. I'm magical."

John grinned. "Makes sense." He gasped dramatically. "You've casted a spell on me!"

We both laughed. I saw the happiness in his hazel eyes.

Hey there, Delilah
I know times are gettin' hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar

College had been really stressful lately. John knew all about it.

"Think about it, chickadee. You'll be back before you know it," John said, strumming his guitar absentmindedly.

"Yeah... eventually.."

We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
