The writing went on the wall when you walked out that door Your memory’s like a work of art, one I’ve never seen before You’re a permanent tattoo on every avenue We’d ever been down Every coffee shop, corner bar we used to go You’re still hanging around
If you didn’t love to vandalize, I would’ve been over your goodbye And not wasting none of my time, wanna cry like, oh… But you had to go and leave your mark All around on the town of my heart I remember when the streets were clean, when it was you and me Now everywhere I look, there’s graffiti, yeah, yeah Now everywhere I look, there’s graffiti, yeah, yeah
Reminding me that you were here, reminding me that we were us Taking everything I’ve seen and turning it back into what it was You’re a permanent tattoo on every avenue We drove through in your car At the parking lot, behind the school, at the broken streetlight There you are
If you didn’t love to vandalize, I would’ve been over your goodbye And not wasting none of my time, wanna cry like, oh… But you had to go and leave your mark All around on the town of my heart But I remember when the streets were clean, when it was you and me Now everywhere I look, there’s graffiti, yeah, yeah Now everywhere I look, there’s graffiti, yeah, yeah
It’s kinda like you’re over me in every underpass Everything in front of me just brings you back
If you didn’t love to vandalize, I would’ve been over your goodbye And not wasting none of my time, wanna cry like, oh… But you had to go and leave your mark All around on the town of my heart But I remember when the streets were clean, when it was you and me Now everywhere I look, there’s graffiti, yeah, yeah Now everywhere I look, there’s graffiti, yeah, yeah Now everywhere I look, there’s graffiti, yeah, yeah Oh, all around on the town of my heart
