I was in Austin
Hanging with my old friends
They're showing me pictures
Bonfires and cigarettes
So now the guilt is starting
'Cause I wanted to be there
And I got what I wanted
But I wanna be a kid again

I should've lingered a little more
I should've stayed up
Watching the stars from the patio floor
I traded shoes on a wire for jet planes
Head's in the clouds but I'm back in the old days
Where I linger a little more

Stumblin' through Nashville
Not a soul on the sidewalk
My friends used to call me
My friends used to wanna talk
But now I'm too busy
Or at least that's what they're telling themselves
Went from: How are you doin'?
To: I hope that you're well

I should've lingered a little more
I should've stayed up
Watching the stars from the patio floor
I traded shoes on a wire for jet planes
Head's in the clouds but I'm back in the old days
Where I linger a little more

And maybe I'm still in the back of their minds
'Cause I keep them all at the front of mine

I should've lingered a little more
I should've stayed up
Watchin' the stars from the patio floor
I, I traded shoes on a wire for jet planes
Head's in the clouds but I'm back in the old days
Where I linger a little more

Yeah, linger a little more
Uh, no, I linger a little more
I-I-I linger a little more
Uh-nuh-uh I linger a little more, ayy
