[Verse 1]
Cracked blue mailbox
Corner by the deli door
We’d split one soda
Talking like we owned the floor
Jim had that wild laugh
Jack lit up the dark
Nothing felt bigger than
South Ozone Park
[Chorus]
South Ozone Park nights
Still playing in my mind
Every little echo
Frozen in that time
Jim and Jack are faces
In an old school photograph
Days roll by
Time flies past
But my heart keeps running back
[Verse 2]
Mama in the window
Yelling that the food got cold
We swore we’d never leave
But the story turned
We all got old
Bus stop conversations
Dreams drawn in chalk
Rain washed the sidewalks
Not the way we talked
[Chorus]
South Ozone Park nights
Still playing in my mind
Every little echo
Frozen in that time
Jim and Jack are faces
In an old school photograph
Days roll by
Time flies past
But my heart keeps running back
[Bridge]
If I could call you right now (ohh)
Hear that busted payphone ring
We’d laugh about the good days
Every dumb
Beautiful thing
I blink and decades vanish
Like footsteps in the dark
But love stays parked forever
Back in South Ozone Park
[Chorus]
South Ozone Park nights
Still playing in my mind
Every little echo
Frozen in that time
Jim and Jack are faces
In an old school photograph
Days roll by
Time flies past
But my heart keeps running back
