[Intro] Never thought I'd miss that place... Fuck. Don't tell Taz. [Verse 1] I miss him yelling from the kitchen "Where the fuck you been?" Meph running up and down the stairs 'Cause I disappeared again I miss the tables packed outside And assholes wanting more The upstairs crowd I should've served While I was out the door Taz would swear he'd fire me I'd tell him, "Yeah, alright" Like he wouldn't find me upstairs Sleeping there that night [Pre-Chorus] We'd bitch all day about that place Couldn't wait to close Funny how the things you hate Are the things you miss the most [Chorus] When the last light went down And the chairs went upside down No more tables left to wait No more smiling through the day Just Taz cleaning down the grill Meph counting up the till Three voices in that little room Talking shit beneath the roof I thought it was your dream, Taz... Didn't know it was ours too Till MacDaddys went dark [Verse 2] Two beds for the three of us Never bothered me Someone stealing all the blankets Someone's elbow in my cheek I'd call Meph a fat bitch She'd threaten me with death Taz would nearly crush my ribs With that fucking Cuddletrain again We'd eat whatever hadn't sold Fight about some stupid thing Ten minutes later laughing Like the fight had never been Nothing there was fancy Barely room to fucking breathe Never knew that cramped old attic Was the place I'd hate to leave [Pre-Chorus] We scraped and saved to get that place So you could have your start Thought we built a restaurant... Guess we built a home by accident [Chorus] When the last light went down And the chairs went upside down No more tables left to wait No more smiling through the day Just Taz cleaning down the grill Meph counting up the till Three voices in that little room Talking shit beneath the roof I thought it was your dream, Taz... Didn't know it was ours too Till MacDaddys went dark [Bridge] Now we're sleeping in the church Safe as anywhere can be And I don't miss taking orders God knows that ain't me But I see you looking backwards, Taz Like you left yourself behind And I wish I could just tell you What took me too damn long to find Me and Meph worked all those nights While you learned to make that bread Every coin became a table Every shift became a step You dreamed it... But we built it. And somewhere while I wasn't looking It became my dream a little bit [Final Chorus] So when the lights come back on And the chairs come back down I'll take the tables up the stairs Meph can take the ones outside Taz can fire that grill again And I'll swear I'll work this time We'll be three voices in that little room Talking shit beneath the roof Yeah, it started as your dream, Taz... But somewhere it became ours too And MacDaddys ain't gone dark Not while I've got Meph Not while I've got you [Outro] And when we're finally home again You two head upstairs... I'll get the light.
