Lyrics: Benedict Cork
Music: Benedict Cork
Remember all the nights we spent
Dreaming big and wanting more
To break out of this little town
Spend a summer in New York
Remember all the days we dreamt
Of our house down by the shore
Picking names out for our kids
Choosing colours for the walls
Now you're gone, gone, gone
So many nights I lost wasted on you
So many tears I spent thinking 'bout you
All of the dreams we had
For the big life we planned, oh Lord
All of the years I lost just to lose you
Building me up to this perfect ruin
All of the dreams we had
For the big life we planned, they're gone
Now you're gone, gone, gone
Now you're gone, gone, gone
Now I'm here in perfect quiet
Hold my pillow like it's you
I've been chasing shadows
Looking for the ghost of you
I drink to get me through the nights
Wash your body out the room
Wish that we could compromise
Why we do the things we do
So many nights I lost wasted on you
So many tears I spent thinking 'bout you
All of the dreams we had
For the big life we planned, oh Lord
All of the years I lost just to lose you
Building me up to this perfect ruin
All of the dreams we had
For the big life we planned, they're gone
Now you're gone, gone, gone
Now you're gone, gone, gone
Whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah
Whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah, oh
The good life, the big plans
Put my, whole life, in your hands
Whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah
Whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah, oh
The good life, the big plans, yeah
Remember all the nights we spent
Dreaming big and wanting more
To break out of this little town
Spend a summer in New York
So many nights I lost wasted on you
So many tears I spent thinking 'bout you
All of the dreams we had
For the big life we planned, oh Lord
All of the years I lost just to lose you
Building me up to this perfect ruin
All of the dreams we had
For the big life we planned, they're gone
Now you're gone, gone, gone
Now you're gone, gone, gone
