We Used to Know the Night

[Intro] Streetlights flicker like they did back then Same old corner, same old ten I swear the air still knows your name Like nothing really changed [Verse 1] I walked past that corner store today They painted over all our graffiti names But I still see us laughing in the heat Sitting on the curb with scuffed-up feet You had that song stuck on repeat Said it felt like summer in a beat We didn’t know what growing up would take We just knew what it meant to stay awake [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t even know if you’d recognize me now But something in me keeps pulling me back somehow Like time forgot to close that door And I’m right there where we were before [Chorus] We used to know the night, we used to run it slow Two hearts on fire with nowhere to go If I called your name would it still feel right? Like we used to know, used to know the night We used to know the night [Verse 2] I heard you moved out west last fall Chasing something bigger than these same old walls I stayed here, but I changed too Just not the way I promised you There’s a photo stuck inside my phone You’re smiling like you’re already gone But I swear when I look into your eyes It’s like no time ever said goodbye [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t even know if you’d recognize me now But something in me keeps pulling me back somehow Like time forgot to close that door And I’m right there where we were before [Chorus] We used to know the night, we used to run it slow Two hearts on fire with nowhere to go If I called your name would it still feel right? Like we used to know, used to know the night We used to know the night [Bridge] Maybe we don’t go back, maybe we just pass through Two different stories in the same old view But I still hear your laugh when the wind hits right Like it’s trying to bring you back tonight And I don’t need forever, just a moment that’s true Where the world fades out and it’s only me and you [Final Chorus] We used to know the night, but it still knows us too Same old spark in a different truth If I called your name would it still feel right? Like we used to know, used to know the night We used to know the night We used to know the night [Outro] Streetlights flicker like they did back then And I wonder if you felt it too, my friend Same old corner, same old sky Some things never say goodbye
