lyrics

I found some black and white picture somewhere in my room
it showed some houses that were torn down long ago
now numerous office buildings form a silhuette
a giant backdrop for our lives and small regrets
and times we won't forget
around the corner there's an old coffee shop
we would go there to talk about dreams and convince us never to stop
around the corner our ideas became alive
we grow older and find our closets organized but chaos still is our lives
I found some black and white t-shirt that said live your dreams
though its colors were fading I still liked its meaning
'cause in the morning paper next to coffee stains
there's a huge discussion about future plans
and them building power plants
around the corner there's an old coffee shop
we would go there to talk about dreams and convince us never to stop
around the corner our ideas would become alive
we grow older and find our closets organized but chaos still is our lives
when I was out there in the rain you were there to help me believe that
the sun would eventually come out again
i'll bring a bottle of wine and we meet where it all began
let us talk through the night
laugh and kiss before we turn off the light
and we'll all be alright
