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
