Lyrics
Fifteen years since the open mic crew split Now we're all in one room and the room's a little lit Dana's got a mortgage, Theo's got a van Me, I've got a notebook and a half-formed plan Hugged in the doorway, did the math on the gray Everybody's older but the jokes didn't change Somebody brought a cooler, somebody brought a speaker Somebody brought the nerves, I brought the rhyme meter Reunion tour of one, but the whole room sings Old words, new rings, same old things Fifteen years gone, but the mic still hums Reunion tour of one, and everybody comes Theo took the mic and he froze for a beat Then the old line landed like a heart on the street Dana filled the silence with a laugh from the back Whole crowd finished the verse, no need to be exact Time is a thief but it left us the words Left us the cadence, left us the nerds We were broke and loud and we thought we'd be huge Now we're fine and quiet, and the quiet's a refuge Reunion tour of one, but the whole room sings Old words, new rings, same old things Fifteen years gone, but the mic still hums Reunion tour of one, and everybody comes Midnight in the parking lot, trunk popped wide Laptop playing beats from the old days' side Passing round a pen, writing names on a cup Promising we'd do it again, don't give up No sold-out stadium, no lights on a stage Just a couple of old friends flipping the page Wrote a closing line on the back of my hand Said we're still a crew, and we still understand Take the mic, say your name Fifteen years and we're the same Take the mic, pass it on Nobody leaves till the last bar's gone Reunion tour of one, but the whole room sings Old words, new rings, same old things Fifteen years gone, but the mic still hums Reunion tour of one, and everybody comes And everybody comes And everybody comes
