[Verse 1]
Yeah I was sitting in the back
Smell of cigarettes and air in the summer
Yeah you were yelling at the sky
Hair blowing back; I think this is freedom
[Chorus]
Thank you for a reason to stay, stay
I could have gone home with regrets
But that's just how it is
Thank you for an generous sign
That you'd go to these great lengths
While I'm behind you
[Verse 2]
Yeah I was sitting in the back
Pretending not to listen to your conversation
Yeah you were trying not to cry
Telling him the reasons that you had to leave him
[Chorus]
Thank you for a reason to stay, stay
I could have gone home with regrets
But that's just how it is
Thank you for an generous sign
That you'd go to these great lengths
While I'm behind you
