lyrics

Have you ever lost the run of yourself
Old town revelry
Slip shine on the cobbled streets
I will live a long time if I forget
The time you ran off with the key
And left me in the doorway till the morning

Where I was sitting waiting for you
Back slid down the wall
And I’m glad we can laugh about it now

I know that it’s been a really long time
Too long too many things
Still water flowing underneath
So I thought I’d maybe just call around
I knocked twice but you were out
So I stood there staring at the ground

Where I was sitting waiting for you
Back slid down the wall
And I’m glad we can laugh about it now

And now when we share a coffee or a drink
It seems so foreign to me
So small so not a thing
I’m so glad that we just pushed on ahead
Not content to let it be
So I’ll see you same place as last week

Where I’ll be sitting waiting for you
Back slid down the wall
And I’m glad we can laugh about it now
