  • I met you when I was a teen
    But then you were one as well
    And I could play the 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 the 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 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 never coming home, Nina
    Oh, won't you leave me now?
    And I've been living 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 burrow 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 never coming home, Nina
    Oh, won't you leave me now?
    And I've been living 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, oh won't you leave me now?

    Oh, Nina (love will come and love will go)
    You should go Nina (but you can make it on your own)
    'Cause I ain't never coming home (sing that song, go)
    In a road, won't you leave me now (now)
    And I've been living on the road Nina (people grow, and fall apart)
    And then again you should know Nina (but you can mend your broken heart)
    'Cause that's you and me both in a road, won't you leave me now (take it back)
    Now

    Oh, Nina (love will come and love will go)
    You should go Nina (but you can make it on your own)
    'Cause I ain't never coming home (sing that song, go)
    In a road, won't you leave me now
    And I've been living on the road Nina (I've been living on the road Nina) (people grow, and fall apart)
    And then again you should know Nina (then again you should know) (but you can mend your broken heart)
    'Cause that's you and me both (that's you and me both)
    Oh, won't you leave me now?
