Sold the little green house In the old neighborhood The kids needed space Found an acre and a half, 4 bed, 3 bath It's pretty great Me and Mike used to run every morning He's twice as fast, and he's 40 We'd talk about music and Jesus He always slows down for me I'm gonna miss this place And all the friends we made Always thought that I Be glad to say goodbye When you find a dream Then you finally see That it's bittersweet Like everything That black velvet couch from my single days Sit down, you might never get up If it could talk it would tell you all the girls I laid It would say, basically none I know that bookshelf is cheap pine Bought it when I was 25 It might not be worth saving But I don't want to replace it I'm gonna miss this place And all the friends we made Always thought that I Be glad to say goodbye When you find a dream Then you finally see That it's bittersweet Like everything I wish I could go back in time When my dog and my dad were alive Running through Veterans Park I would tell my younger self It's paradise I still got the taste in my mouth Of that Lagavulin shot going down To the tears on my cheek When I held you near me I see it clearly now God, I miss those days Why'd I wish 'em away Why'd I close my eyes And pray for better times I'm holding onto you Keep holding onto me The taste of bittersweet In everything
