Nina

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I met you when I was a teen, but then, you were one as well And I could play a guitar just like ringin' a bell Sometimes I wonder, in any other summer Could you have been my part-time lover to me listenin' to Stevie Wonder? Under the covers where we used to lay And "Re: Stacks" is what the speakers played I'd be on tour almost every day When I was home, up in my flat is where we used to stay Just watchin' a DVD, smokin' illegal weed Gettin' high as two kites when we needed to breathe We used each other's air just for the people to see And stay up all night like when we needed to sleep We'd go anywhere our minds would take us And I'd say, "You are beautiful without your makeup And you don't even need to worry 'bout your weight 'cause we can all be loved the way that God made us" And time's the only reason that we could break up 'Cause you would always tell me I'm away too much Distance is relative to the time that it takes To get on a plane or make a mistake, so say it again [Chorus] Oh, Nina You should go, Nina 'Cause I ain't ever comin' home, Nina Oh, won't you leave me now? And I've been livin' on the road, Nina But then again, you should know, Nina 'Cause that's you and me both, Nina Oh, won't you leave me now, now? [Verse 2] And every weekend in the winter, you'd be wearing my hoodie With drawstrings pulled tight to keep your face from the cold Taking day trips to the local where we'd eat on our own 'Cause every day when I was away, we'd only speak on the phone Watchin' Blue Planet, creatin' new habits Actin' as if we were two rabbits and then you'd vanish Back to the burrow with all the Celtics I'd disappear, you'd call me selfish I understand, but I can't help it I put my job over everything except my family and friends But you'll be in between forever, so I guess we'll have to take a step back Overlook the situation 'Cause mixing business and feelings will only lead to complications And I'm not saying we should be takin' a break Just re-evaluate quick before we make a mistake and it's too late So we can either deal with the pain or wait to get on a plane But in a day, we'll have to say it again [Chorus] Oh, Nina You should go, Nina 'Cause I ain't ever comin' home, Nina Oh, won't you leave me now? And I've been livin' on the road, Nina But then again, you should know, Nina 'Cause that's you and me both, Nina Oh, won't you leave me now, now? [Bridge] Love will come and love will go But you can make it on your own Sing that song, go Oh, won't you leave me now? People grow and fall apart But you can't mend your broken heart Take it back, go Oh, won't you leave me now? (Ooh-ah) [Chorus] Oh, Nina You should go, Nina (Mmm) (Love will come and love will go) 'Cause I ain't ever comin' home, Nina (But you can make it on your own) Oh, won't you leave me now? (Sing that song, go, oh, won't you leave me now?) And I've been livin' on the road, Nina (Oh) (People grow and fall apart) But then again, you should know, Nina (But you can't mend your broken heart) 'Cause that's you and me both, Nina (Take it back, go, oh, won't you leave me now?) Oh, won't you leave me now, now? Oh, Nina You should go, Nina (Love will come and love will go) 'Cause I ain't never comin' home, Nina (But you can make it on your own) Oh, won't you leave me now? (Sing that song, go, oh, won't you leave me now?) And I've been livin' on the road, Nina (I've been livin' on the road) (People grow and fall apart) But then again, you should know, Nina (But then again, you should know) (But you can mend your broken heart) 'Cause that's you and me both, Nina (That's you and me both, Nina) Oh, won't you leave me now, now?
