Like a night drive
With the windows down
By the shoreline
In my hometown
Like a long talk
'Til the sun comes up
On my back porch
We're in no rush
Like an old friend
You're like an old friend
I wanna stay here forever
No, I don't ever wanna move on
I wanna stay here forever
You know me better than anyone
Like an old friend
An old friend
You're like an old friend
An old friend
Like Springsteen
On a 45
Dancing in the dark
'Til I'm on fire
Like springtime
In Michigan
When the ice melts
On the ground again
I wanna stay here forever
No, I don't ever wanna move on
I wanna stay here forever
You know me better than anyone
Like an old friend
An old friend
You're like an old friend
An old friend
You just get better
Better with time
Woah
You just get better
Better with time
Woah
Like an old friend
You're like an old friend
I wanna stay here forever
No, I don't ever wanna move on
I wanna stay here forever
You know me better than anyone
Like an old friend
An old friend
You're like an old friend
An old friend
You're like an old friend
An old friend
You're like an old friend
An old friend
