[Verse 1]
I went with you to Texas
But you never made it to Massachusetts
Tried to fight it, but it was useless
When you said, "we need to talk"
And you called it off
Told my family you couldn't visit
And you ate the price of that ticket
And I know it's been a minute
I hope you're doing well
For me, it's been hell
Having this city to myself
[Chorus]
You could've been kissed in the middle of Harvard Square (oh)
You could've been Back Bay sipping on ocean air (oh)
Fourth of July and Christmas
Such a shame you're gonna miss this
Could've been us, you lost it
Could've had me, could've had Boston
[Verse 2]
Saw you made it up to Fenway
Finally got to see the Sox play
Posted pictures of your whole day
And that you got lost on thе T
You should've been there with mе (should've been, should've been)
'Cause I know that wind is wicked
When it's ripping through your jacket
Kind that gets you cursing while you're laughing
And you can barely feel your toes
But it's not that cold (not that cold)
When you got someone to hold (to hold)
[Chorus]
You could've been kissed in the middle of Harvard Square (oh)
You could've been Back Bay sipping' on ocean air (oh)
Fourth of July and Christmas
Such a shame you're gonna miss this
Could've been us, you lost it
Could've had me, could've had Boston
[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh, oh oh
Could've been us, you lost it
Could've been us, you lost it
Could've been us, you lost it
[Bridge]
We could've held hands walking Washington street
We could've been silhouettes dancing on the beach
We could've been coffee cups and Irish luck, baby
[Chorus]
You could've been kissed in the middle of Harvard Square (oh)
You could've been Back Bay sipping' on ocean air (oh)
Fourth of July and Christmas
Such a shame you're gonna miss this
Could've been us, you lost it
Could've had me, could've had Boston, ooh
[Outro]
Could've been us, you lost it
Could've been us, you lost it
Could've been us, you lost it
Could've had me, could've had Boston
