Lyrics

It was midnight I was walking on Bayshore
I thought I saw you but you don’t live here anymore
Must’ve been the song that I was listening to
On my headphones at the time
had me thinking bout when you were mine
So then I took a turn down into Hyde Park
You should see the Christmas lights
They put up on Boulevard
Then above a garage on Edison
Is where I used to play
In the first band I was ever in

I still recognize the bones
But look around at how you’ve grown
I think we all agree
The island ain’t what it used to be
Somehow I guess the word got out
We’re a city with the charm of a town
And there’s nowhere else
I think I could ever see
Myself than 813

Channelside for a movie
Is where we used to meet
But the theater shut down and now
They call it Water Street
Just feels a little bit like
We’re losing all the neighborhood bars
And swapping them out for restaurants
With valet parking And Michelin stars now

Chorus

Bridge
I know the sun will always set the same
Over a pirate ship out in the bay
And we’ll never stop
Wondering when we’ll get the Rays
I still recognize the bones
No matter how much you've grown
I think we all agree
Change is just something meant to be
And I Always knew the word would get out
We’re a city with the charm of town
And there’s nowhere else
I think I could ever see
Myself than 813
