Lyrics
Ten years since the last time we spoke Now you're sitting across from me The candle's low and the room is soft And you look the same to me You look the same in this light Like the night we said goodbye The years just slipped away Like smoke into the sky We both have a few more stories A few more lines to show You look the same in this light Some things you never outgrow We talk about the weather and the work But our eyes say something more There's a song we used to hum together Playing low behind the door You look the same in this light Like the night we said goodbye The years just slipped away Like smoke into the sky We both have a few more stories A few more lines to show You look the same in this light Some things you never outgrow Pour another cup, my friend The night is ours to keep We have ten years to catch up on And the city's fast asleep You look the same in this light Like the night we said goodbye The years just slipped away Like smoke into the sky We both have a few more stories A few more lines to show You look the same in this light Some things you never outgrow Some things you never outgrow
