[Verse 1]
Saw the world from up close
It ain’t much to look at
Compared to you and your work clothes
Waving low from the driveway
Used to make myself whole
Most days, I’d be lucky just to get half
Been to places so low
You can recognise when it’s real bad
When it’s real bad

[Verse 2]

Used to hate the silence
It used to make me think about the old days
And all the miles in my legs
The late flights and missed birthdays
I hear, I can hear your heartbeat
I can hear the sound of a long sigh
I can hear the song of the robin
I haven’t made my own in a long time
In a long time

[Chorus]
‘Cause I don’t need my name back
Throw my notebook in the basement
Oh, I love you
And I can’t fake that for a moment
We go way back
We go way back
Tell me I don’t need options
That I have substance
That I’m important
If it’s only for letting the dogs out
Sweeping porches
Won’t make me nothing
Take me way back
We go way back

[Verse 3]
Little pebble marks on your car door
The sound of your feet on the gravel
Said I’m always trying to run from what I’m known for
Baby, that’s the thing about a sad oath
I’ve never seen the rain fall so hard
Honey, we’re north of nowhere now
Heaven is a drink in the backyard
As we watch the storm touchdown
And it’s pouring out

[Chorus]
And I don’t need my name back
Throw my notebook in the basement
Oh, I love you
And I can’t fake that for a moment
We go way back
We go way back
Tell me I don’t need options
That I have substance
That I’m important
If it’s only for letting the dogs out
Sweeping porches
Won’t make me nothing
Take me way back
We go way back
Take me way, way back

[Outro]
‘Cause I don’t need my name back
Throw my notebook in the basement
Oh, I love you
And I can’t fake that for a moment
We go way back
We go way back
Tell me I don’t need options
That I have substance
That I’m important
If it’s only for letting the dogs out
Sweeping porches
Won’t make me nothing
Take me way back
We go way back
