lyrics

Apartments
And streetlights
And you right
By my side
By my side
By my side

It felt right
I hated that
We stayed up
Cultivated that
Never made it back
Never made it back

Now you're a New York baby
You're a fashion lady
Oh you're a New York baby
You're my fashion lady

Dancing on rooftops
Taking photographs
Playing hide and seek
Making each other laugh
Memories take me back
Oh the memories take me back

Drinking cheap wine
Smoking cigarettes
That we couldn't buy
We weren't old enough
I wasn't bold enough
I couldn't be your love

Do you wanna go back to the summer
We were young
Flash forward to the winter I held my tongue
And we danced without the sun
And we sat until the dawn
Do you wanna go back
Do you wanna go back
Say you wanna go back
Say you wanna go back
Say you wanna go back
I don't wanna go back

You didn't care
What I did
You trusted
What I said
What I said

I fucked up
The relationships
I moved out
You hated it
You hated me

Dancing on rooftops
Taking photographs
Playing hide and seek
Making each other laugh
Memories take me back
Oh the memories take me back

Drinking cheap wine
Smoking cigarettes
That we couldn't buy
We weren't old enough
I wasn't bold enough
And I couldn't be your love

Do you wanna go back to the summer
We were young
Flash forward to the winter I held my tongue
And we danced without the sun
And we sat until the dawn
Do you wanna go back
Do you wanna go back
Say you wanna go back
Say you wanna go back
Say you wanna go back
Do you wanna go back
Do you wanna go back
Say you wanna go back
Say you wanna go back
Say you wanna go back
I don't wanna go back

If we went back there would be
A time and place for everything
And I don't think that we could be
Everything I said that we could be
And if you need me I don't think
I could be there after
All these years

I don't wanna go back
I don't wanna go back
I don't wanna go back
I'm afraid to go back
I'm afraid to go back
I'm afraid to go back
