"Now & Then" lyrics

Every now and then I still think of you
When that sun's burnt-orange and those dogwoods bloom
A stack of old mail and some worn-out boots
In the spot you would sit, but I'd still make room
The trouble ain't tryin', I tried giving you up
But half this town still reminds me of us
So every now and then I still think of you
I'm stuck holding a door that you ain't walking through

You're stuck inside my head and won't stop playin' on a loop
I'm stuck between what's right and wrong, I'm catchin' twenty-two
You say "out with the old," but I didn't want me somethin' new
'Cause we drained the fountain of youth

Girl, we had it all
The whole world right there in our palm, we had it, I want it
I need it, but you couldn't see it
I look to the sky, it's still hard to believe it, believe it, 'cause...

Every now and then I still think of you
When that sun's burnt-orange and those dogwoods bloom
A stack of old mail and some worn-out boots
In the spot you would sit, but I'd still make room
The trouble ain't tryin', I tried giving you up
But half this town still reminds me of us
So every now and then I still think of you
I'm stuck holding a door that you ain't walking through

This don't look like the picture I was drawing in my head
There's still a spot that's waiting on the cold side of the bed
I'm working out the ways to say the things I should've said
Just in case we cross paths again

Girl, we had it all
The whole world right there in our palm, we had it, I want it
I need it, but you couldn't see it
I look to the sky, it's still hard to believe it, believe it, 'cause...

Every now and then I still think of you
When that sun's burnt-orange and those dogwoods bloom
A stack of old mail and some worn-out boots
In the spot you would sit, but I'd still make room
The trouble ain't tryin', I tried giving you up
But half this town still reminds me of us
So every now and then I still think of you
I'm stuck holding a door that you ain't walking through
