Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We almost got away, we cut it close
The city's gettin' loud
If I choke, it's only 'cause I'm scared to be alone
Been tryin' to work it out, you should know
I would do whatever you wanted
We don't have to leave the apartment
This is what it feels like
Livin' in a movie I've watched and
Funny 'cause I couldn't have called it
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like
Oh
The train was cold, we left Connecticut
We stayed a couple hours
Our clothes matched enough to throw me off a bit
Your phone was playin' "Towers" and I
I would do whatever you wanted
We don't have to leave the apartment
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like
Livin' in a movie I've watched and
Funny 'cause I couldn't have called it
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like
And I need you sometimes
We'll be alright
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like
And I miss you some nights
We'll be alright
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like
I would do whatever you wanted
We don't have to leave the apartment
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like

Oh
Expressing a sudden realization or understanding
We almost got away, we cut it close
We came close to escaping, but just barely missed our chance
The city's getting loud
The noise of the city is becoming overwhelming
If I choke, it's only 'cause I'm scared to be alone
If I panic, it's because I'm afraid of being by myself
Been trying to work it out, you should know
I've been trying to figure things out, and you should be aware of that
I would do whatever you wanted
I'm willing to do anything you desire
We don't have to leave the apartment
We don't need to go out to have a good time
Met you at the right time
We encountered each other at the optimal moment
This is what it feels like
This is the sensation I experience when I'm with you
Living in a movie I've watched and
I feel like I'm living a scenario I've seen in a film
Funny 'cause I couldn't have called it
It's amusing because I never would have predicted it
The train was cold, we left Connecticut
We departed Connecticut on a chilly train
We stayed a couple hours
We spent a few hours together
Our clothes matched enough to throw me off a bit
Our outfits seemed to coordinate, which surprised me slightly
Your phone was playing "Towers" and I
Your phone was playing the song "Towers," and I noticed it
And I need you sometimes
There are occasions when I require your presence
We'll be alright
We'll manage
And I miss you some nights
On certain nights, I long for you
