When present company has left the house it feels empty like before
More so than the bottles left behind, between the laughs, outside the door
On Halloween, the makeup it exposes I was hiding underneath
I said I was a vampire but I couldn’t be bothered with the teeth
In 2017, oh I was anxious couldn’t wait for it to end
But other ones were beautiful, together not alone, with all my friends
And caroline turned sixteen, Mr Brightside, James was dancing with the horse mask
Before she cheated, circle fell apart and ellie broke the poor horse head’s heart
I remember you remember me with my short hair and chequered shirt on
Playing those inflatable guitars just to pretend that we had someone
Don’t remember college ones, it never was the tone but I was better
You with your pink scarf and stupid heels on, and Blue I can’t forget her
Blue her dress and my mind was a mess
Five years on, can’t forget, all those lines of regret
And if we ever met again I couldn’t say a word but god she knew it
Even so, I’m thankful for the days and all the friends that got me through it
And Daniel turned 18, before the end, I put my drama student head on
Thought it was the start of something better, we were lost, god we were let on
And James’s Birthday party, March the 7th, I’ll never forget the date
Dandelions, Dancing Queen, in retrospect it seems akin to fate
When present company has left the Soundsystem keeps playing LcD
To be alone with all my friends, that would be enough for me
That would be enough for me
