A Thing Like That Lyrics by James Dupré

2020

They’re still young enough to go to places
Full of been there, done that faces
Worn out strings in guitar cases looking like they’ve seen in all
They take a breath that they take for granted
Sing along the sand, enchanted
Hand in hand, they’re empty-handed
In the fight against the urge to fall
He left home at 17
Wondered if the grass was greener
Broken pride and empty dreams are all he’s evеr had
But she came around and made him smilе
He kicked the habits now for a while
The good days outnumber the bad
I’d give anything for a thing like that
He looks at her, says if it’s okay
What if we get married one day
She laughs and says maybe someday
When there’s fewer someday’s to give
From backstage I watch as they go
Still singing out the words that they know
Holding on till the next show
Like it’s something they’ll relive
She grew up in Hope, New Jersey
Fell in love, married early
Moving on took all she ever had
But he came around and made her smile
He held her close and now for a while
The good days outnumber the bad
I’d give anything for a thing like that
I guess I saw myself when I was him
When we were them
And what we had
Was everything
I left home at 17
Wondered if the grass was greener
Broken pride and empty dreams were all I ever had
But you came around and made me smile
I kicked the habits there for a while
The good days outnumbered the bad
I’d give anything to have that back
Yea I’d give anything to have that back
A thing like that
