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
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
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
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 putting a tree
up in your place
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
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
Was I what you wanted
even for a little while
aah
Even for a while
aah aah aah
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
