[Verse 1]
Thought you moved across the ocean
I moved on and changed my hair
All those years in faded photos
Fridge magnets of a friend who wasn’t there
Then you’re standing by the crosswalk
Same old grin
Brand-new clothes
I said your name
It felt like breathing
Like every closed door just swung open
[Pre-Chorus]
We laugh at the lines on our faces
At the plans that we both never kept (oh!)
All the miles
All the time
Didn’t get in the way
I guess
[Chorus]
We’re back like we never left
Same bad jokes
Same easy mess
Picking up a story we half-wrote
Then forget
Back like we never left
Spilling old secrets on a sunlit step
Making new memories out of every breath
We’re back like we
Back like we never left
[Verse 2]
Driving past our old school corner
See the wall we used to climb
You point out the cracked blue paintwork
Say
“I swore I’d leave this town behind”
Now we’re yelling with the windows open
Off-key to a song we don’t know
Turn the wrong way
Miss the exit
Who cares where this night wants to go
[Pre-Chorus]
We talk over one another
Fill the silence we once had to keep (hey!)
Every “remember when” we uncover
Feels like waking from a long
Long sleep
[Chorus]
We’re back like we never left
Same bad jokes
Same easy mess
Picking up a story we half-wrote
Then forget
Back like we never left
Spilling old secrets on a sunlit step
Making new memories out of every breath
We’re back like we
Back like we never left
[Bridge]
Here’s to the calls that we never made
To the birthdays we both missed
To the younger us
Who’d be amazed
We made it here to this
So let’s get lost on purpose
Toast to every second we get
If tomorrow pulls us apart again
I’ll still bet
I’ll still bet—
[Chorus]
We’re back like we never left
Same wild hearts in a different chest
Picking up a story we half-wrote
Then forget
Back like we never left
Polaroid laughter and a sky gone red
Making new memories out of every breath
We’re back like we
Back like we
Back like we never left
