Intro

   

Verse

Shoulda been us at the cafe, the corner of 6th
Watching the rain and the time and the coffee drip 
And there’s a song in the background that you’re steady humming
Damn it I miss the way that it wasn’t
There’s a house on the East side right North of the river
With white painted walls that ain’t holding our pictures
Could of made it our own yeah it would’ve been something
Damn it I miss the way that it wasn’t

Chorus

So I sleep with the memories left on the table
And I drink with the ghost of what could of been
And I rewrite the future like some sorta fable
And it cuts me open again and again
And it still keeps me up, ain’t a night that it doesn’t
Damn it I miss the way that it wasn’t 

Verse

There’s wine we won’t drink from a cheap plastic cup
And songs we won’t sing at the top of our lungs
There’s stars we won’t see and there’s years we won’t touch   
We didn’t make it that far, so I’m dreaming it up 

Chorus

So I sleep with the memories left on the table
And I drink with the ghost of what could of been
And I rewrite the future like some sorta fable
And it cuts me open again and again
And it still keeps me up, ain’t a night that it doesn’t   
Damn it I miss the way that it wasn’t

Chorus

So I sleep with the memories left on the table
And I drink with the ghost of what could of been
And I rewrite the future like some sorta fable
And it cuts me open again and again
And it still keeps me up, ain’t a night that it doesn’t
Damn it I miss the way that it wasn’t
Damn it I miss the way that it wasn’t
