(Title: A Street I Used to Know)
(Verse 1)
I found that old polaroid yesterday
Tucked in a book I’d put away
Your faded smile, the summer sun in your hair
And for a second, I swear you were there
I traced the edge, a paper-thin goodbye
Remembered the promise in your eyes
We were just kids with a tank full of gas
Thinking a perfect thing was meant to last
(Chorus)
And oh, they say that time is supposed to heal
But some old wounds are just too real
And every now and then, in the quiet of the night
I reach for a memory, and I hold on tight
'Cause you're more than a ghost, more than a name
You're the lingering heat from a dying flame
A long-lost love I can't let go
Living on a street I used to know
(Verse 2 - Sentimental Verse)
I still remember that night by the lake
The clumsy promises we were scared to make
You traced the stars on the back of my hand
And swore this love was more than we had planned
You said my name like it was your favorite song
Right in that moment, I knew I belonged
The world went quiet, it was only you and me
Drowning in a beautiful, sweet certainty
(Chorus)
And oh, they say that time is supposed to heal
But some old wounds are just too real
And every now and then, in the quiet of the night
I reach for a memory, and I hold on tight
'Cause you're more than a ghost, more than a name
You're the lingering heat from a dying flame
A long-lost love I can't let go
Living on a street I used to know
(Bridge)
I wonder if you ever drive back there
And breathe that same cool, midnight air
Does a song come on the radio
And pull you back to twenty years ago?
Maybe in another time, another world
I'd still be your boy, you'd still be my girl
(Chorus)
'Cause oh, they say that time is supposed to heal
But your memory is all I can feel
And every single time I close my eyes at night
I see your face in the pale moonlight
You're more than a ghost, more than a name
You're the constant heat from an endless flame
My long-lost love I won't let go
You're still waiting on that street I used to know
(Outro)
On a street I used to know...
Yeah, I won't let go...
Mmm, I won't let you go.
