[Verse 1]
Pulled up late to that corner bar
Sticky tables
Crooked pool cues
You laughed first when you saw my face
Like
"Man
Look at you"
Same old jukebox in the dusty light
Cracked brown leather on the booth we knew
You slid in
Stole a sip of my drink
Said
"Feels like ’02"
[Chorus]
It's the same old stories
We swear we've told a thousand times
Same bad jokes
Still land just right
Yeah
The years ran off
Took our hair
Left us these lines
But here with you
It’s like the clock rewinds
Every time
Every time
[Verse 2]
You talked kids
You talked long commutes
I talked lay-offs
Learning to pray
We clinked glasses for the ones who left
Stared at the floor a while
Gray
Then you called me by that dumb nickname
Only you could say that way
And we were back in that dorm room heat
Eating cold fries
Skipping Monday
[Chorus]
It's the same old stories
We swear we've told a thousand times
Same bad jokes
Still land just right
Yeah
The years ran off
Took our hair
Left us these lines
But here with you
It’s like the clock rewinds
Every time
Every time
[Bridge]
Funny how the big things change
And the real things stay
You still talk with your hands
I still laugh too late
We got mortgages
Pills
Scars we didn't plan
But I still feel eighteen
When you slap my hand (hey!)
[Chorus]
It's the same old stories
We swear we've told a thousand times
Same tired songs
Still feel brand new tonight
Yeah
The years ran off
Took our hair
Left us these lines
But here with you
It’s like the clock rewinds
Every time
Every time
[Outro]
So let the bar lights fade
Let the last call ring
We’ll meet again in some old town
Pick up the same old thing
Same old stories
Same old grin
Feels like we never
Stopped checking in
