Sometimes I find myself sittin' back and reminiscing Especially when I have to watch other people kissin' And I remember when you started callin' me your missus All the play fightin', all the flirtatious disses I'd tell you sad stories about my childhood I don't know why I trusted you but I knew that I could We'd spend the whole weekend lying in our own dirt I was just so happy in your boxers and your t-shirt Dreams, dreams Of when we had just started things Dreams of you and me And it seems, it seems That I can't shake those memories I wonder if you have the same dreams too The littlest things that take me there I know it sounds lame but it's so true I know it's not right, but it seems unfair The things are reminding me of you Sometimes I wish we could just pretend Even if only for one weekend So come on, tell me Is this the end? Drinkin' tea in bed, watching DVDs When I discovered all your dirty grotty magazines You take me out shopping and all we'd buy is trainers As if we ever needed anything to entertain us The first time that you introduced me to your friends And you could tell that I was nervous, so you held my hand When I was feeling down, you made that face you do No one in the world who could replace you Dreams, dreams Of when we had just started things Dreams of me and you And it seems, it seems That I can't shake those memories I wonder if you feel the same way too The littlest things that take me there I know it sounds lame but it's so true I know it's not right, but it seems unfair The things are reminding me of you Sometimes I wish we could just pretend Even if only for one weekend So come on, tell me Is this the end? Na-na-na, la-la-la-la-la-la, la La-la-la-la-la-la, la Na-na-na-na-na-na, na Na-na-na-na-na-na
