Somewhere We Never Left

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There’s a photograph inside my drawer, A summer night, an open door, Your old blue jacket on my chair, And traces of you everywhere. The radio still knows our song, The one we sang when nights were long, And every time the chorus plays, I’m seventeen again for days. [Pre-Chorus] We said goodbye beneath the lights, With broken hearts and brave goodbyes, But time can move and years can fly, While some things never say goodbye. [Chorus] Somewhere we never left, Where the sun still sets on the promises we kept, Where your hand still fits in mine, And the stars don't know the meaning of goodbye. We're still dancing in the rain, Still laughing through the windowpane, Though the world has changed and nothing's left, Somewhere we never left. [Verse 2] The old café has changed its name, But the corner seat still feels the same, I walk the streets we used to know, Like a ghost from years ago. I wonder if you pass here too, If little things remind you, Of midnight talks and paper rings, And all our almost-everythings. [Pre-Chorus] We thought forever meant a lifetime, A thousand tomorrows, yours and mine, But even when the last train left, A part of us stayed on that step. [Chorus] Somewhere we never left, Where the sun still sets on the promises we kept, Where your hand still fits in mine, And the stars don't know the meaning of goodbye. We're still dancing in the rain, Still laughing through the windowpane, Though the world has changed and nothing's left, Somewhere we never left. [Bridge] Maybe we're just memories Wearing different faces, Maybe love's a house we leave But never quite erase. And if we meet when we're older, With a little more regret, Will you look at me and feel it too? That we haven't left there yet? [Breakdown] Oh, somewhere in the afterglow, There's a road we used to know, Two young hearts without a plan, Trying to be more than who we am. And even if we can't return, Some bridges never cease to burn, Not with pain, but with the light Of a love that still feels right. [Final Chorus] Somewhere we never left, Where we gave our hearts with nothing held in debt, Where the moon still guards our dreams, And forever's just as close as it once seemed. We're still dancing in the rain, Still calling out each other's names, Though we've lived a thousand lives since then, I'd find you in that place again. Somewhere we never left, Beyond the years and all the words unsaid, Where the world was ours to get, And your smile's the one I can't forget. Maybe time has laid us to rest, But some goodbyes are just a breath… And somewhere, deep inside my chest, There's somewhere we never left. [Outro] If you ever miss the way we were, If the old song finds you somewhere, Close your eyes and take one step… I'm still there. Somewhere we never left.
