Nina

I met you when I was a teen, but then you were one as well

And I could play a guitar just like ringing a bell

Sometimes I wonder, in any other summer

Could you have been my part-time lover to me listening to Stevie Wonder?

Under the covers where we used to lay

And "re: Stacks" is what the speakers played

I'd be on tour almost every day

When I was home, up in my flat is where we used to stay

Just watching a DVD, smoking illegal weed

Getting high as two kites when we needed to breathe

We'd use each other's air just for the people to see

And stay up all night like when we needed to sleep

We go anywhere our minds would take us

And I'll say, "You are beautiful without your make-up

And you don't even need to worry about your weight 'cause

We can all be loved the way that God made us"

And time's the only reason that we could break up

'Cause you would always tell me I'm away too much

Distance is relative to the time that it takes

To get on a plane or make a mistake, so say it again

Oh, Nina, you should go, Nina

'Cause I ain't ever coming home, Nina

Oh, won't you leave me now?

And I've been living on the road, Nina

But then again, you should know, Nina

'Cause that's you and me both, Nina

Oh, won't you leave me now, now?

And every weekend in the winter, you'd be wearing my hoodie

With drawstrings pulled tight to keep your face from the cold

Taking day trips to the local where we'd eat on our own

'Cause every day when I was away, we'd only speak on the phone

Watching "Blue Planet", creating new habits

Acting as if we were two rabbits, and then you'd vanish

Back to the burrow with all the Celtics

I disappear, you call me selfish, I understand, but I can't help it

I put my job over everything, except my family and friends

But you'll be in between forever, so I guess we'll have to take a step back

Overlook the situation 'cause mixing business and feelings

Will only lead to complications

And I'm not saying we should be taking a break

Just reevaluate quick before we make a mistake, and it's too late

So we can either deal with pain or wait to get on a plane

But in a day, we'll have to say it again

Oh, Nina, you should go, Nina

'Cause I ain't ever coming home, Nina

Oh, won't you leave me now?

And I've been living on the road, Nina

But then again, you should know, Nina

'Cause that's you and me both, Nina

Oh, won't you leave me now, now?

Love will come, and love will go

But you can't make it on your own

Sing that song, go

Oh, won't you leave me now?

People grow and fall apart

But you can't mend your broken heart

Take it back, go

Oh, won't you leave me now? (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Oh, Nina (love will come, and love will go)

You should go, Nina (but you can't make it on your own)

'Cause I ain't ever coming home, Nina (sing that song, go)

Oh, won't you leave me now?

And I've been living on the road, Nina (people grow and fall apart)

But then again, you should know, Nina (but you can't mend your broken heart)

'Cause that's you and me both, Nina (take it back, go)

Oh, won't you leave me now, now?

Oh, Nina (love will come, and love will go)

You should go, Nina (but you can't make it on your own)

'Cause I ain't ever coming home, Nina (sing that song, go)

Oh, won't you leave me now?

And I've been living on the road, Nina (I've been living on the road)

But then again, you should know, Nina (but then again, you should know)

'Cause that's you and me both, Nina (yes, you and me both)

Oh, won't you leave me now, now?
