I heard “Coffee Eyes” come on in Jack's car And it never hit me as hard as it did then When I realized that their booth on the back wall Had really just been our bridge in the school hall all along
Where I’ve been all my life is where I wanna stay I was tricked into thinking that home was something bleak and grey But we’ve got these late night talks around these dim lit blocks I hope my friends still feel the same
So now these nights are fleeting Why are you leaving? There’s so much left for us to see I’ll keep everyone in my head Tucked away, locked inside, I can’t bear to forget you or the others There won’t be another year like this Another year like this
Nostalgia still tears me at the seams It makes me want to believe That there’s something I’m still missing here Give me back those 3 years
Where I’ve been all my life is where I wanna stay I was tricked into thinking that home was something bleak and grey
So now I’m stuck staring at this screen until it’s morning Didn’t get a wink of sleep, but I’m still breathing The world kept on spinning last night I think that I’ll make it out alright.
