About this song

A nostalgic postcard to one specific year in one specific city. Burgers and fries on takeaway nights, Palace Kitchen, feet on the ground and head in the clouds — two people running from another love and doing everything they dreamed of. It ended November 17, and they don't talk anymore. But the song is, above all, thankful: for all we did, and all we tried to do.

Lyrics

How many burgers and fries Did we eat on takeaway nights How many miles did we burn Just to see a little of the world How many times did we say We'll forever be this way How many days did spend Wishing we would never have to end We weren't perfect each other But we were running away from another love Couldn't get enough Did everything we dreamed of In 2016 Seattle I hope you know that I'm thankful For all we did And all we tried to do Sometimes I still dream of you On some evenings I still feel it I crack a smile while my heart's bleeding on the floor I guess you cleaned out my drawer 'Cause we don't talk anymore We don't talk We don't talk anymore We don't talk anymore How may nights did we go out Always had so much to talk about Palace kitchen sitting and listening Feet on the ground head up in the clouds We weren't perfect each other But we were running away from another love Couldn't get enough Did everything we dreamed of In 2016 Seattle I hope you know that I'm thankful For all we did And all we tried to do Sometimes I still dream of you On some evenings I still feel it I crack a smile while my heart's bleeding on the floor I guess you cleaned out my drawer Cause we don't talk anymore And I'll always remember Our last day November 17 We didn't wanna wake up from our dream From 2016 Seattle I hope you know that I'm thankful For all we did And all we tried to do Sometimes I still dream of you
