Old Town
My friend just called me crying
They're demolishing the old town
Some fifteen years ago
I might have splashed out on the next round
But lately things are changing
And not always for the better
Emotions coming faster
Than reactions when we go there

I've been in love
More than one time
In my life
I've been in love
More than once

The parlour with the back wall
Where i learnt how to inhale
The roof next to the school yard
We stood out like a doornail
The playground and the cottage
Where we all got so queasy
The swings outside the tree house
Where everything was easy

I've been in love
More than one time
In my life
I've been in love
More than once

Weird to even feel this way
Nothing ever stays the same
That's what life is meant to say
Come change with me or lose your claim

Now see what are the options
You can go and buy the whole place
Build a shrine and spend a fortune
Take control of every subspace
Or you can change your focus
The way you are perceiving
The past will always be there
For comfort and for grieving

As i've been in love
More than one time
In my life
And if i can fall in love again
Then so can you

My friend just called me crying
They're demolishing the old town
Demolishing our future
Like we imagined it would go down
With sunshine every morning
We'd go out and get the paper
Friendly waving at each other
From the front porch
In the old town

The Music is out there
