lyrics

It's been a while, since we've dressed up for the night,
Took our lives into each others hands and danced 'til morning light,
It's been a while, since I've seen you in this town,
which is strange 'cos we're just streets away but years apart somehow.

I keep dreaming about, all the friends that I don't see,
The ones that I let go when I decided who to be,
I've made my bed, no use trying to make amends,
With every half kept promise and, thought that's in my head.

We were the best of friends with worst ideas,
You left such, a bitter taste,
I'll go to bed, feeling fine, wake up next to my mistakes,
We were the best of friends with worst ideas,
You left such a bitter taste,
You were all over my tongue, now you're all over this page

Sixteen, it looks like so much fun,
But things have changed a lot now, We're not staying young,
You're just a ghost, in the hallways of my mind,
And my words are just a window through which all my thoughts they climb,

Late nights, I'm skipping work again,
I'll spend the day in bed thinking about what could have been,
You took the best I had, Now I'm at my worst,
I met God he put this fear in me then kicked me back to Earth

We were the best of friends with worst ideas,
You left such, a bitter taste,
I'll go to bed, feeling fine, wake up next to my mistakes,
We were the best of friends with worst ideas,
You left such a bitter taste,
You were all over my tongue, now you're all over this page

We were the best of friends with worst ideas,
You left such, a bitter taste,
I'll go to bed, feeling fine, wake up next to my mistakes,
We were the best of friends with worst ideas,
You left such a bitter taste,
You were all over my tongue, now you're all over this page
