How Did We Get From I Love You

Great Big Sea

(Up)



"It's a cold day for September"

Was all I thought to say

When I saw you on the street the other day

I knew something changed between us

All the talk we made was small

But what do you say to someone

When they've heard it all

It's an awkward conversation

In a most peculiar way



How did we get from saying "I love you"

to "I'll see you around someday"



It seemed like only days ago

We had so much to say

Did we take it all for granted

Did it all get thrown away

"It calls for rain this afternoon" you finally replied

Then there was a stuttering silence

That I felt my mouth go dry

We'll talk about the weather

'Cause there's not much more to say



How did we get from saying "I love you"

to "I'll see you around someday"

How did we get from saying "I love you"

to "I'll see you around someday"



Has all the ice been broken?

All our surfaces been scratched?

Have all the words been spoken

Have we finally met our match?

Cause it's an awkward conversation

In a most peculiar way



How did we get from saying "I love you"

to "I'll see you around someday"



How did we get from saying "I love you"

to "I'll see you around someday"
