lyrics
Lyrics:
Ain't it funny how
all the plans we made
Have turned into all the
dreams that we've betrayed
And ain't it funny how
that sweet sixteen tattoo
Ain't so pretty now
Coming up on 32
But those days are gone
Never ours to hold
Never ours to hold, for very long
But I still have the songs
When the night comes down
Over here, on my side of town
Do you remember
the songs we used to sing
You had a hot guitar and
oh honey you were the king
We used to drink all night and
chase them girls around
Now you got a mortgage
over on the high-class side of town
Well I went to school so they could teach me how to write
Scribble down the history of some great life
But of all the fools I've known and the pain I've seen
Happiness is somewhere in the miles between ...
Ain't it funny how
all the plans we made
Have turned into all the
dreams that we've betrayed
And ain't it funny how
that sweet sixteen tattoo
Ain't so pretty now
Coming up on 32
But those days are gone
Never ours to hold
Never ours to hold, for very long
But I still have the songs
When the night comes down
Over here, on my side of town
Do you remember
the songs we used to sing
You had a hot guitar and
oh honey you were the king
We used to drink all night and
chase them girls around
Now you got a mortgage
over on the high-class side of town
Well I went to school so they could teach me how to write
Scribble down the history of some great life
But of all the fools I've known and the pain I've seen
Happiness is somewhere in the miles between ...
