Old Times Sake

Brown eyes I memorized like the back of my own hand

The sound of you could take me back like no one really can

We were held captive by who we swore we'd be

I was all of seventeen ready to wipe the whole slate clean

I outta see you once before I head down south

You know to me you would always be the best show in that town

I took a long way, the whole way home

You asked me why I was standing there, I swear I didn't know

Sometimes closure means closing doors and knowing when to fold

I was praying you would beg me to stay

If not for love, just for old times sake

College station calling me like you with a burner phone

You didn't let me down, babe

Until you let me go

Here's to hoping life

Turned out sweet

Now that you're all grown

Do you remember knots in my hair

And threads on my clothes? Are you haunted by the legacy

We left When young love is turned into old regrets

I took the long way, the whole way home

You asked me why I was standing there

I swear I didn't know

Sometimes closure means closing doors and knowing when to fall

I was praying you would beg me to stay

If not for love, just for old times sake

I hope you put a diamond on the right and left hand

When you think of that day, hope you understand

Why I took the long way, the whole way home

You asked me why I was standing there, I swear I didn't know

Sometimes closure means closing doors

And knowing when to fall

I was praying you would beg me to stay

If not for love, just for old times to stay
