[Verse 1]
Sour candy on the table
Lazy afternoons in your sweatpants watching cable
Well, it feels so far away
All the channels seem the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to remember all the songs we like to play
'Cause those lazy afternoons don't come so frequently these days
[Chorus]
Oh, it's been so long
And I cannot help but wonder
Are you ever coming home?
I like you with your sour candy
In the boathouse on the lake
Oh, but I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate
I hate the way it tastes
[Verse 2]
I can't get you off of my mind
Looking out the window
Where we spent so much of our time
'Cause I miss the way it felt
But I guess you can't control those damn cards we're dealt
[Pre-Chorus]
And babe, I know the both of us are happy when we're free
But would it be so hard to find your freedom here with me?
[Chorus]
Oh, it's been so long
And I cannot help but wonder
Are you ever coming home?
I like you with your sour candy
In the boathouse on the lake
But I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate
I hate the way it tastes
[Bridge]
And I hate the way it tastes
But I love it all the same
[x2]
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Oh and I know it's been, it's been, it's been, it's been, so long
And I cannot help but wonder
Are you ever coming home?
I like you with your sour candy
In the boathouse on the lake
Mm but I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate
I hate the way it tastes
[Chorus]
Oh, it's been, it's been so long
And I cannot help but wonder
Are you ever coming home?
When I see you with your sour candy
Don't want it any other way
Oh, I just hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate
I hate the way it tastes
