The Life We Planned

Remember all the nights we spent

Dreaming big and wanting more

To break out of this little town

Spend a summer in New York

Remember all the days we dreamt

Of our house down by the shore

Picking names out for our kids

Choosing colours for the walls

Now you're gone, gone, gone

So many nights I lost wasted on you

So many tears I spent thinking 'bout you

All of the dreams we had

For the big life we planned, oh Lord

All of the years I lost just to lose you

Building me up to this perfect ruin

All of the dreams we had

For the big life we planned, they're gone

Now you're gone, gone, gone

Now you're gone, gone, gone

Now I'm here in perfect quiet

Hold my pillow like it's you

I've been chasing shadows

Looking for the ghost of you

I drink to get me through the nights

Wash your body out the room

Wish that we could compromise

Why we do the things we do

So many nights I lost wasted on you

So many tears I spent thinking 'bout you

All of the dreams we had

For the big life we planned, oh Lord

All of the years I lost just to lose you

Building me up to this perfect ruin

All of the dreams we had

For the big life we planned, they're gone

Now you're gone, gone, gone

Now you're gone, gone, gone

Whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah

Whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah, oh

The good life, the big plans

Put my, whole life, in your hands

Whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah

Whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah, oh

The good life, the big plans, yeah

Remember all the nights we spent

Dreaming big and wanting more

To break out of this little town

Spend a summer in New York

So many nights I lost wasted on you

So many tears I spent thinking 'bout you

All of the dreams we had
