Lyrics Just to See You Again - John Schroeder

Just to See You Again

I fell for a girl, when I was twenty-one
We met in Chicago and we had us some fun
But she lived in Boston and me in LA
So we went our separate ways
Then we started talkin' on the phone at night
Trading stories and it felt just right
So one day I called her said I’m coming out east
Be there next Tuesday and can I see you please
She said that’s alright with me
Baby it’s fine with me
Now I only have to wait for one more week
Until I see you again
I only have a bus ride, two flights an hour on the train until I see you again
I’m up at four AM for twelve hours of traveling and then I’ll see you again
And the whole way I’ll be thinking oh why’d I have to fall
For a girl who lives so far away from home
Just a bus ride, two flights an hour on the train until I see you again
I walked up to your building and I opened the door
Lugged my big suitcase up to the fourth floor
My heart was racing, my stomach was in knots
Come on in, you said.
The door is unlocked
And there you were, in nothing but a nightie
A glass of wine in one hand and fire in your eyes
Well that’s when I knew we would be ok
Even though to get here took a whole damn day
But that’s alright with me
Baby it’s fine with me
You know I’d even travel for a whole week
Just to see you again
I only have a bus ride, two flights an hour on the train until I see you again
I have to keep myself from falling asleep cause I’m about to see you again
I’ve never felt this way before
But baby I sure wish you lived next door
Just a bus ride, two flights an hour on the train until I see you again
We made it work as the years rolled by
But it tore me apart when we’d say goodbye
Yes I’ll admit sometimes I’d wanna quit
But I kept on working to make you mine
And then said you were moving out west
You’d thought it all over and this was for the best
Now we’re together nearly everyday
And I’m so happy I don’t have to say
I only have a bus ride, two flights an hour on the train until I see you again
I feel alive it’s just a drive down the 5 for me to see you again
I’m so glad you moved out to Cali
But it ain’t perfect — you’re downtown, I’m in the valley
Hey no more bus rides, planes or hours on the train just to see you again
