canal street

[Verse 1]
As I walk down Canal Street, I see the girls with the low-rise jeans
But they do nothing to me
'Cause these are the streets where we used to be
As I walk down Canal Street, I see the girls that could cover the magazines
But they’re just not my scene
'Cause these were the streets where we used to be

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you still smoke on the patio?
Is your brother still in the hospital?
Do you hear me crying out for you on the radio?
I'vе got everything I thought I’d need now
But I'm still smoking cigarettеs on my couch
And it kills my mom, but it brings me back to you

[Chorus]
And I try to go on dates
But none of them are you, none of them are you
And I look for girls with your traits
But none of them are you, none of them are you

[Verse 2]
Now I'm back in the city
And the lights are looking pretty for the holidays
But all it does is bring me back to your face
This time last year, I was puttin' a tree up in your place

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you still smoke on the patio?
Is your brother still in the hospital?
Do you hear me crying out for you on the radio?
I've got everything I thought I'd need now
But I'm still smoking cigarettes on my couch
And it kills my mom, but it brings me back to you

[Chorus]
And I try to go on dates
But none of them are you, none of them are you
And I look for girls with your traits
But none of them are you, none of them are you

[Bridge]
Was I what you wanted? Even for a little while?
Ooh-ooh, even for a while?
Ooh-ooh (Oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
And I try to go on dates
But none of them are you, none of them are you
And I look for girls with your traits
But none of them are you, none of them are you
