Should've you left you in San Francisco
Would've saved me a couple months
Of throwing instincts out the window
For you
You and I were about to matter
On the brink of it could be love
Guess I should've known
Should've known better
'Cause your friends they hadn't heard of me
You spent the night ignoring me
I know that I noticed
I wasn't in focus
But you were the only one in mine
They say you know when you know
So why did I hold on?
Should've called it over
Instead I pulled you closer
Thought we'd make it
If I was patient enough
But I saw it coming
And instead of up and running
I kissed your face
Under the red flags at the Golden Gate
Why did I go and give you ninety
Had to beg you for ten percent
Wish it didn't sound just like me
But it's what I do
When I high dive right into someone new
Swearing a love this good is overdue
I've played this story out a time or two
But it always
Always ends the same
They say you know when you know
So why did I hold on?
Should've called it over
Instead I pulled you closer
Thought we'd make it
If I was patient enough
But I saw it coming
And instead of up and running
I kissed your face
Under the red flags at the Golden Gate
Ohh
Should've left you
Should've left you there
Ohh
Should've left in San Fransisco
They say you know when you know
So why did I hold on?
Should've called it over
Instead I pulled you closer
Thought we'd make it
If I was patient enough
But I saw it coming
And instead of up and running
I kissed your face
Under the red flags at the Golden Gate
