nina

i met you when i was a teen

but then you were one as well

and i could play a guitar

just like ringing a bell

sometimes i wonder

in any other summer

could you have been my part-time lover to me

listening to stevie wonder

under the covers where we used to lay

and re: stacks is what the speakers played

i'd be on tour almost every day

when i was home up in my flat is where we used to stay

just watching a dvd

smoking illegal weed

getting high as two kites when we needed to breathe

we used each other's air just for the people to see

and stay up all night like when we needed to sleep

we'd go anywhere our minds would take us

and i'll say you are beautiful without your make-up

and you don't even need to worry about your weight 'cause

we can all be loved the way that god made us

and time's the only reason that we could break up

'cause you would always tell me i'm away too much

distance is relative to the time that it takes to get on a plane or make a mistake

so say it again

oh nina

you should go nina

'cause i ain't ever coming home nina

oh won't you leave me now

and i've been livin' on the road nina

but then again you should know nina

'cause that's you and me both nina

oh won't you leave me now

now

and every weekend in the winter you'd be wearing my hoodie

with drawstrings pulled tight to keep your face from the cold

taking day trips to the local where we'd eat on our own

'cause every day when i was away we'd only speak on the phone

watching blue planet

creating new habits

acting as if we were two rabbits

and then you'd vanish

back to the borough with all the celtics

i disappear

you call me selfish

i understand but i can't help it

i put my job over everything except my family and friends

but you'll be in between forever so i guess we'll have to take a step back

overlook the situation 'cause mixing business and feelings will only lead to complications

and i'm not saying we should be taking a break

just re-evaluate quick before we make a mistake and it's too late

so we can either deal with the pain or wait to get on a plane

but in a day we'll have to say it again

oh nina

you should go nina

'cause i ain't ever coming home nina

oh won't you leave me now

and i've been livin' on the road nina

but then again you should know nina

'cause that's you and me both nina

oh won't you leave me now

now

love will come and love will go

but you can make it on your own

sing that song

go oh won't you leave me now

people grow and fall apart

but you can mend your broken heart

take it back go oh won't you leave me now

oh nina

you should go nina

cause i ain't ever coming home nina

oh won't you leave me now

and i've been livin' on the road nina

but then again you should know nina

cause that's you and me both nina

oh won't you leave me now now
