Girlfriend Material - Stay in Touch Lyrics

It was a really cold night
I remember
The bars were all closed
So we just drove
Back to my parents' house
I was crashing on the couch
They turned my old room
Into something new

When I moved away
To get close to the city lights
To get far away
From the good old days

But every December
We get back together
To say

It's so good to see you again -
I know I always say let's stay in touch
But this time let's really stay in touch
I can't even remember when
The last time was I felt so much love
But I guess it doesn't matter much
It's so good to be back together
We can just sit around the house
Or hit the road and go wherever
I got no plans and no place to be
And all this sitting here alone remembering
Is killing me
So I can pick you up, or you can pick me up
I'm easy

There was this big as hell storm
I was driving
Down the same old roads
Where we always drove
And I started to cry when I passed the place
Where we lived for the winter 2008
There were some really cold nights
But we didn't mind

Then we moved away
To smoke under the neon signs
To grow up and live large and get cool, fall in love
In the glow of the city lights
And now once a year we fly in for a week at a time

It's so good to see you again -
I know I always say let's stay in touch
But this time let's really stay in touch
I can't even remember when
The last time was I felt so much love
I guess it doesn't matter much
It's just so good to be back together
We can just sit around the house
Or hit the road and go wherever
There ain't no place that I'd rather be

Cause all we ever wanted was some place that we were going
So we all packed bags, spun globes, said our goodbyes,
And hit the road
And I guess you gotta leave before you learn how to come home

It was a really cold night
I remember
The bars were all closed
So we just went home.
