I go back to it My old suburbia once or twice in a year I know you'll be there And you'll come to my parents' house They know you by name They're sayin', "It's been so long" We slip out of the house, we start foolin' around Like we did when we were young
At nineteen, we haunted streets that we knew so well I cut my feet on the love and the lust I felt
Stuck in the quiet of my hometown You're wonderin' if we'll go back to bein' friends I just stay quiet so you know now That if I could, you know I'd do it all again I gave you all of my midnights But baby, now that it's daytime You are stuck in the quiet of my hometown I have to go now
Every time I go You won't drive me to the airport You say that you'll write and I swear that I'll call But I don't know what for When I land in the city In the cab, I can taste you still Conversations we made It's been stainin' my days Things that I didn't say
Stuck in the quiet of my hometown You're wonderin' if we'll go back to bein' friends I just stay quiet so you know now That if I could, you know I'd do it all again I gave you all of my midnights But baby, now that it's daytime You are stuck in the quiet of my hometown I have to go now
(I gave you all of my midnights) (Baby, now that it's daytime) (I gave you all—) Underneath the cyprus trees I can see you in my dreams (See you in my dreams) The way that you're sayin' my name Kind of makes me want to stay (Want to stay)
Stuck in the quiet of my hometown So maybe finally, we'll be more than friends We both get quiet 'cause we know now That if I tried, I'd stay here with all the ends I gave you all of my midnights But baby, now that it's daytime You are stuck in the quiet of my hometown I have to go now
Stuck in the quiet of my hometown (I have to go now) Underneath the cyprus trees I can see you in my dreams (I have to—) I just stay quiet so you know now (I have to go now) The way that you're sayin' my name Kind of makes me want to stay (I have—) At nineteen, we haunted streets that we knew so well
