I miss house parties And the sound of my name Called out into the street by my friends Dark bedrooms and crowded landings I miss being drunk Too drunk to walk But dancing anyway I miss the smell of Saturday night Of smoke and beer and people And laughter and anger And tears and hugs But most of all I miss you And the way you held my hand Down that path by the river When we were too scared to breathe And the bench in the park The one we always choose Under the tree and the smooth English skies
