See You Around

(album: The Knife - 2017)

Driving down this road I know so well
Street lights just came on
Sun stained sky horizon fell
The QuickChek is long gone

Together we will be alright
It's the little things that get in the way
Even when we are laughing, even when we fight
We shine so, shine so bright

It all comes down to memories and casualties
You know I'll still be waiting
But the one thing that we have
Is knowing what we were
Yeah we said "I guess I'll see you around"
"I guess I'll see you around"

I wrote songs for her in my father's garage
We stayed awake 'til dawn
Long hot summer's lost in her skin
Those days are all long gone

While the lights burn out and we laugh
And it swept us all away
In the back of your car
Deep in our darkest hours
We shine so, shine so brightly

It all comes down to memories and casualties
You know I'll still be waiting
But the one thing that we have
Is knowing what we were
Yeah we said "I guess I'll see you around"
"I guess I'll see you around"

And we changed, but it's all the same
Everything is perfect when we are together
We changed, but it's still the same tonight
When we all fall down, we can sing out loud
Everything is perfect when we are together
We changed but it's all the same tonight

Now we're at the bar we used to own
It was our second home
Then the band, they play our favorite song
"The Bastards of Young"

It all comes down to memories and casualties
You know I'll still be waiting
But the one thing that we have
Is knowing what we were
Yeah we said "I guess I'll see you around"
"I guess I'll see you around"
