I Miss That Band
Paul Baribeau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that you sang
on a track
that you wrote
on a record
that i lost
when i moved two years ago
they all came back loud and clear and made me sad
i miss that band
the notes
that you played
all at once
and than one after another
than the drums kicked in with the bass
and you guys sounded so good together
it all came back loud and clear and made me sad
i miss that band
maybe if i close my eyes ill be back in a Lansing basement
nodding my head while you rock
i wish now just like i wished back than
that we'd never have to ever grow up
but it all came back loud and clear and made me sad
i miss that band
