Ran across the driveway
Did it all it see your face
Back then I was naïve
Never thought I'd be replaced
I didn't mind hanging out at your parents place
Saw a picture of you
Taller than you used to be
Then again I last saw you when you we were 17
You're working in cafés
But still awkward socially
Oh and I remember
Nights under candlelights
Told you that I wanted this forever
And it's something that I thought you'd like
Oh, let's go back to the memory
Buy that house with the willow tree
Chase that feeling that you gave to me
Let's go back to the memory
'Cause distant ain't what we should be
Heard you finished college
But you never thought you would
Graduated early like I always knew you could
Finally made it out of the neighborhood
Saw you on the subway
You were there with someone new
(Were you, were you?)
Maybe in another lifetime I'd be going home to you
Home to you, oh
You know I'd be happy to
Oh and I remember
Nights under candlelights
Told you that I wanted this forever
And it's something that I thought you'd like
Oh, let's go back to the memory
Buy that house with the willow tree
Chase that feeling that you gave to me
Let's go back to the memory
'Cause distant ain't what we should be
Distant ain't what we should be
No one told me I would be lonely
Couldn't save me
Still can't forget those days
You were my forever and only
Took a second for you take it all away
So let's go back to the memory
Buy that house with the willow tree
Chase that feeling that you gave to me
Oh, let's go back
Let's go back
