lyrics

You took me to a diner
You grabbed my hand
You said, "come with me to the restroom"
We took some selfies then
You reached for me that evening
And I just couldn't see
When we stood on the corner street
I thought, if only she was for me
If only she was for me

It never was
And it will never be
Some memories
They die out slowly
The hope lives on
Somewhere tomorrow
We move along
The road has two steps

And years later, years later
I see your face, I see your face
Of all the girls of November
You were the one
I can't replace, I can't replace

And years later, years later
I see your face, I see your face
Of all the girls of November
You were the one
I can't replace, I can't replace

It never was
And it will never be
Some memories
They die out slowly
The hope lives on
Somewhere tomorrow
We move along
The road has two steps

So now I sip my coffee and I think about how you and I could've been lovers
But we weren't cause I was too chicken shit
