I saw an old friend today
Boarding a train
Called out their name
They looked away
Was I wrong?
I felt like a ghost
We were just kids now we've changed
From the steps to your place
Moving away
A sofa to stay
It's no one's fault
You learn to let go, and I guess that
We try to live with the past in our pockets
Medals and clothes, photos in our cupboards
Weddings in old high school friends' apartments
And we left red wine stains in their carpets
We try to live with the past in our pockets
It never pays so we move to new suburbs
Bottles and memories, dates with ex-lovers
And we left red wine stains in their carpets
Oh yeah, it's getting to that time of year when the shadows appear
Oh yeah, we always say maybe next year when our paths are more clear
So many years on our phones
To our friends from back home
Earn and they own
They're sleeping alone
And real slow
We lose touch and hope
The moon in this light always glows
Like it did when we were close
Wake me at night on tippy-toes, as I slept I'd listen out for your voice
Each night I still do, so I guess
We try to live with the past in our pockets
Medals and clothes, photos in our cupboards
Weddings in old high school friends' apartments
And we left red wine stains in their carpets
We try to live with the past in our pockets
It never pays so we move to new suburbs
Bottles and memories, dates with ex-lovers
And we left red wine stains in their carpets
Oh yeah, it's getting to that time of year when the shadows appear
Oh yeah, we always say maybe next year when our paths are more clear
Oh yeah, it's getting to that time of year when the shadows appear
Oh yeah, we always say maybe next year I will see you my dear
Yeah, getting to that time of year when the shadows appear
Yeah, getting to that time of year when the past is more clear
