[Verse 1]
I touch down back home, cold air in my lungs
Same laughs, same faces, still feel like I’m young
Pints on the table, old stories replay
Like no time passed, just years slipped away
We joke like kids, but the nights feel short
‘Cause the clock don’t care when you want more
I moved for a future I actually love
But every hello still knows what comes
[Chorus]
I hate the day I leave, yeah it hits every time
Bag on my shoulder, heart left behind
I love where I’m living, I stand by that
Still miss what we had — both things can last
“Till next time” — yeah I say it with a smile
But it hurts every step, every mile
[Verse 2]
Heading away, letting days turn to space
Thinking of laughs that time can’t erase
Same streets echo when the nights fall quiet
No anger in it, no need to fight it
You don’t drift apart, you just lose the hours
Still solid, still real, just fewer encounters
I’m building a life that feels like my own
Still carry you with me wherever I go
[Chorus]
I hate the day I leave, yeah it hits every time
Bag on my shoulder, heart left behind
I love where I’m living, I stand by that
Still miss what we had — both things can last
“Till next time” — yeah I say it with a smile
But it hurts every step, every mile
[Bridge]
It’s not regret, it’s just growing up
Learning how to hold more than one kind of love
Proud of the move, proud of where I stand
Still miss you lot, that’s just how it stands
[Verse 3]
Next visit planned, counting weeks not days
Same crew, same jokes, same reckless ways
No matter how far or how life bends
You’re not my past — you’re my friends
So I walk forward knowing what’s right
New ground under me, still old ties
And when we part and I say that line
I don’t lose you — it’s just till next time
[Outro]
Till next time…
Till next time…
