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.
