i'm walking past the hammock where we made out,
and talked to our friend about his friend breakup
with our other friend
and later, his real breakup with our other friend
but he was too weird to call it that then
i'm looking at the window where i lived
where you guys threw candy, when i was sick.
we got ice cream, he made you swear
you’d eat that gross combination on a dare,
and you won the privilege
to get it forever for free
it was here
it was there
it was ours
it was here
it was there
it was ours
i'm looking at the building where you threw
those great dance parties, and me & you
and all of us would jump and scream
mr. brightside, teenage dream,
our other friend woke us up
strumming lakes of canada
and now the doorway where we kissed
and now the courtyard where i cried
and the place where your parents bought us dinner
and we couldn’t drink, but lied
that was here
that was there
that was ours
that was here
that was there
that was ours
and the bar where our friend always sang
and the theater where we did my play
and the place where you and i saw that show
about the end of the world
and the place where i spilled wine at your concert,
and later our friend saw his future wife
when i ran into her i couldn't believe
who she was searching for
our friends were close
our friends were near
i don't wanna go home
but i can't stay here
we were here
we were there
we were ours
we were here
we were there
we were ours
we were here
we were there
we were ours
we were here
we were there
we were ours
