You had a tan
stayin outside that long's gonna make you a man
Never goin back, Never goin back again
I dont wanna say its breakin my heart
but I dont know where to start
Old friends are fallin apart in time
Write your name over mine, cover them both in wine
I miss the straight, straight lines
The old times
