JOE

I’m lying on the couch you used to sleep on

After we went out to our typical base

No bus was going to your house before dawn

So pre-gaming and after hours was at my place

Bad music and cheap wine

Checking out the people we knew

I was your wing person and you were mine

Saying I was your best boo

Between you and me is a huge gap

And both of us have retreated

Growing up is such a trap

What was can’t be repeated

Collecting myself ringing the bell with your name

As always your mom comes to the door

And then she’s pouring us a couple of champagne

We go to your room up on the first floor

TV's on mute in the background

We sit at your desk on some old chair

You give me a glimpse into your DJ sound

We don’t need many words to share

Between you and me is a huge gap

And both of us have retreated

Growing up is such a trap

What was can’t be repeated

Your house is not your mom’s anymore

And when I ring the bell your son opens the door

You have a special place in my heart

I’m forever listening to your techno art

Between you and me is a huge gap

And both of us have retreated

Growing up is such a trap

What was can’t be repeated
