Nights of poetry.
I want to relive those nights with her… Mohawk street 10 years of my life with someone. That age in your 20’s when your carefree and living free.
A song about that house.
Verse 1 I drove back to our old street, Parked across from our old house Where we lived in our early twenties When we were figuring it out It doesn’t look the same now, Like our fingerprints wore thin I can still see our bedroom window Still imagine us sleeping in It was always breaking down, Nothing worked but we made it ours Couldn’t afford the newer things So it looked like a 90s TV star So young, Never worried ’bout the years ahead Felt like kings in a beat-up house With a future we never read Verse 2 Most nights were spent In that bar room we designed The only thing that never changed Was the oak bar and cheap red wine Parties till the sun came up, Dragging the whole bar home at close Pissing off the neighbors on the street Just kids who didn’t know what they’d lose Bridge Sitting here now, God, I miss that shitty house Chorus/Outro Would you take a walk with me, relive a couple nights On Mohawk Street Would you pick one day, Or let our old records play on repeat I’m leaving now, one last look at that old place We live in modern houses now But they don’t feel the same Just one night, God damn, getting older makes you see You never know you’re living memories Till they’re memories
