It's been way too long since I've seen your perfect face is lost in time I see your hand is shaking but so is mine Because we've barely spoken these last years But now every memory's woken between my ears All the life lived separate but not so different All these streets may be the same but not the rent Don't burn the whole place down 'Cause I finally love this town It's everything the child in me needs to reconcile to see The man who put himself so far Away from every childhood scar that lit the road ahead so bright I thank God they're back here tonight Oh first things first: is it hard to see my face again in this bar? Oh do you remember what happened here all those years ago do you, dear? Oh I first kissed you and you kissed back It was the purest moment This is a fact 'Cause we have been too far now to bend the truth I wanna make new memories under this roof Barefoot on the wine soaked ground The same songs, the same old sounds Each one a perfect fit this hit heralds a perfect hit Shaken to the pounding drums I won't wait till the kingdom comes 'Cause I finally understand As your hand defines my hand Oh don't burn the whole place down 'Cause I finally love this town It's everything the child in me needs to reconcile to see The man who put himself so far away from every well earned scar that lit the road ahead so bright I thank God they're back here tonight
