lyrics
Once when we were younger
Half pints and cheap cider
Holding my hand, wild and grand
Dressed in the same tshirts
Drunk, lean in your shoulder
Same, every day,
See you tomorrow, get home safe
Sing me a song off key,
Chanting our melody
Paint in our hair, an island upstairs
Sit on my bedroom floor
Crying for wanting more
We've just begun
You're mourning a loss that hasn't come
Birthday candles burning low
How we learned we're not alone
Slap my hand to share our love
You're there before I call
When my country goes too far
Right all the wrong with tea and a film
Now when we share our walls
Make dinner just to talk
Tears in our eyes
How was your day are you alright
For two years I grow older
Heart shrunken open but
You pull me up, dust off the doubt
Bleach out the old mistakes
Laugh in the face of shame
Like we used to do
Remind me who I was next to you
Birthday candles burning low
How we learned we're not alone
Slap my hand to share our love
Now when the world is still
I'm back with you in that bar as you say,
"We'll be okay"
Neon and mismatched chairs,
Chet softly sings downstairs:
"It's always you"
Stay home safe, I'll see you soon
