I'm thinking 'bout you in the front porch light Zipped up my coat before we went outside You cased your breath in the foggy night Sometimes we still talk, but you seem so shy So let's just act like we don't have the time But I'd come over to apologize I'm in your city only for the night We could go to that bar that you swear you don't like She calls me old friend I call her old friend Yeah, she's my old friend And nothing more than that Hey, I just picked up a bottle of wine I drink too much so could you help this time I'll split it with you in the moonlight Set out a towel and hope the bugs don't bite I'll buy a house before I'm 25 If I get lucky from the songs I write I think you'd look good by my fireside We could talk in the morning if we time it right She calls me old friend I call her old friend Yeah, she's my old friend And nothing more than that But now I'm stumbling through these streets alone I thought I'd hear from you weeks ago I'll probably see you when you get back home Haven't met your new boy, I bet I'd like him though I'm dry heaving in an empty bed Tied a rope to you and split the ends I'll never have the chance to make amends, cause I'll never be more than your old friend
