[Verse 1]

I still think about our best years

I'm not sure what's worse:

To live in them or watch them disappear

I sought comfort when I came here

You got stubborn so I stayed around to watch the tension clear

[Chorus]

We used to watch the cars pass by

We'd stay out late at night, getting caught

While were were getting high

The streetlights made us mellow

We would dance around the yellow

Now we dodge the LED

And waste our time on "used to be"

[Verse 2]

Sometimes I bike towards your folks' street

Not 'cause I mean to but the habit still weighs heavy on my feet

I follow cracks inside the concrete

I circle back in time to realize I prefer to be discrete

[Chorus]

We used to watch the cars pass by

We'd stay out late night, getting caught

While we were getting high

Maybe rent a movie

Get lost in something gloomy

But all the Blockbusters closed

Didn't know I'd be missing those

[Verse 3]

I see your sister getting groceries

I watch our old friends lose control

I see your ex around

She's still filling holes that you left her with

When you told her you can't handle it

[Outro]

We used to watch the cars pass by

We used to watch the cars pass by

We used to watch the cars pass by

We used to watch the cars pass by
