Qats - The Grove Lyrics

I stopped at The Grove of the States
Pulled up next to a bikers' gang
I remembered I had been here once in high school
A school trip we'd taken
And then there was that other time
You and me on the highway, you were drivin', and racin'
Yeah, you paid for that when the patrol sirens came

And I believed I knew you better back then
Than any other friend I'd ever known
Yeah I can leave, and I can come back again but I knew you better
When the sirens were on.

What did I bring with me from the south?
Wavin' at people and smilin' with my mouth
But if I stay here just a little while
I go back to the downcast eyes

And all I'm tryin' to say, is that everybody changes
I loved you back then, and I'll love you through the ages
But now we're both in a different place, so let's not make all the same mistakes
Just because I believed

Yeah I believed I knew you better back then
Than any other friend I'd ever known
Yeah I can leave, and I can come back again but I knew you better
When the sirens were on
