Bittersweet

Sold the little green house in the old neighborhood

Kids needed space

Found an acre and a half, four bed, three bath

It's pretty great

Me and Mike used to run every morning

He's twice as fast, and he's forty

We'd talk about music and Jesus

He always slows down for me

I'm gonna miss this place

And all the friends we made

Always thought that I'd

Be glad to say goodbye

When you find a dream

Then you finally see

That it's bittersweet

Like everything

That black velvet couch from my single days

Sit down, you might never get up

If it could talk, it would tell you all the girls I laid

And it would say, "Basically none"

I know that bookshelf is cheap pine

Bought it when I was twenty-five

It might not be worth saving

But I don't want to replace it

I'm gonna miss this place

And all the friends we made

Always thought that I'd

Be glad to say goodbye

When you find a dream

Then you finally see

That it's bittersweet

Like everything

Wish I could go back in time

When my dog and my dad were alive

Running through Veterans Park

I would tell my younger self it's paradise

I still got the taste in my mouth

Of that Lagavulin shot going down

To the tears on my cheek when I held you near me

I see it clearly now

God, I miss those days

Why'd I wish 'em away?

Why'd I close my eyes

And pray for better times?

I'm holding on to you

Keep holding on to me

The taste of bittersweet

In everything
