Beginning with the hook puts Kahan\u2019s earworm in the listener\u2019s mind. But it also reveals the plot\u2019s ending, with the rest of the song explaining how we got here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>On a train back to Boston, and we\u2019re jumping the gun,<br>And I\u2019m telling you, baby, \u201cThis the part where I\u2019d run.\u201d<br>But I like it when you\u2019re nice, like it when you\u2019re nice to me<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the opening verse, Lefty, who at the time was just emerging from a breakup, finds herself heading into another romantic entanglement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Well, there I was,<br>Swearing I would never fall in love.<br>All my inhibitions walked out the second,<br>You said, \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d<br>So, here we go,<br>I\u2019m throwing out the things I used to know.<br>I hate to admit it, but I guess I\u2019m not better alone.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nashville and an Obsession<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lefty wrote \u201cBoston\u201d in Nashville with Grace Enger, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, and Joe Reeves.
