[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?
