Around These Parts

[About The Song]

[Verse 1]
I fell in love with my best friend
But it’s not the same old shit again
No more waiting up ‘til three A.M. just for a text that says “k”
I fell in love with my best friend
And everything makes sense again
No more crying on the night of my biggest birthday

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re precious when you make me cry
You’re precious when you count to five
You’re precious when you sing
So precious even when you try to be menacing

[Chorus]
I got the key to the city, I just need you to drive me home
‘Cause I don’t think I could live another day alone
I don’t know the words to your favorite song
But I know you wouldn’t do me any wrong
My December’s long gone and January’s finally coming along

[Verse 2]
You came over last night and fell asleep in my bed
And since then you’ve been fully awake in my head
If it were up to me, I sincerely think you would never ever leave
Thought I’d be alone but I’d like this instead
Rings in orange juice, no longer queuing dread
There we were, sitting there, hiding our affection in a door frame

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re precious when you walk me home in the snow
You’re precious when you’re drunk and making stupid jokes
You’re precious when you make my mind race
So precious even when you’re leaving my place

[Chorus]
I got the key to the city, I just need you to drive me home
‘Cause I don’t think I could live another day alone
I don’t know the words to your favorite song
But I know you wouldn’t do me any wrong
My December’s long gone and January’s finally coming along

[Bridge]
Now I’m getting your pennant in September
And bit you for a reason we can’t remember
And nothing has ever felt quite this alive
The clock keeps winding on and on
Sitting here without you feels helplessly wrong
And I’m really glad you decided to take that dive

[Chorus]
I got the key to the city, I just need you to drive me home
‘Cause I don’t think I could live another day alone
I don’t know the words to your favorite song
But I know you wouldn’t do me any wrong
My December’s long gone and January’s finally coming along
