So I'll be taking the first plane Back to Chicago Where all my friends stay the same Nobody's going away so much better 3 years ago When my dreams They still made sense to me Before the west coast Got the best of me Nobody's saving the best years for last Nobody's saving the best years Things don't get better when you leave Cause we all break eventually You try to move on But we can't move on You've built this place that you call home You've got your memories set in stone But somewhere down the line Someone will tear it down We all settle for saying We'll be back in the summer I'll see you this time next year Talk yourself out of regret
With your palms covered in sweat Until you find your way back here So I'll be taking the first plane Back to Chicago Make my way out of LA Nobody's staying the same So much better 3 years ago When my dreams they still made sense to me Before the west coast Got the Best of me Nobody's saving the best years for last Nobody's saving the best years Things don't get better when you leave Cause we all break eventually You tried to move on But we can't move on And you built this place That you call home You've got your memories set in stone (And you can't move on) Nobody's saving the best years
