It's been a month since I moved in
This old flat on McDonovan street
Press my nose up against the window
See the block where we used to live
I've been watching you lately
As you bring the kids to school
And I wondered if maybe
We can face up to what we have to do
I've been looking for something I can't find
I've been holding on to things that ain't longer mine
Tryin' to find my way but I keep coming back again and I don't know why
I don't know why
Meet you for coffee that evening
On the corner at McDonovan street
You wear the top that I bought you
Ages ago before the shine wore off
Watch your nervous demeanor
The way your eyes move across the room
Then you pose me the question
Can you sign the papers soon?
I've been looking for something I can't find
I've been holding on to things that ain't longer mine
Tryin' to find my way but I keep coming back again and I don't know why
I don't know why
I burnt my heart on an old flame
It was here, on McDonovan street
Had I known that I'd lose you
Would've picked another lane
I've been looking for something I can't find
I've been holding on to things that ain't longer mine
Tryin' to find my way but I keep coming back again and I don't know why
I don't know why
