Old Flame
We used to talk about anything and everything
In the back of that old Grand Cherokee
But when you headed south, terrified of settling
I stayed back to play for tips down on Varick St.
Now I'm nothin' but an old flame
Just the boy from your family's town
Tiny little no-name
Bet you don't even remember it now
But I wonder if you ever catch yourself dreamin' about
Strikin' up an old flame
I saw a photograph, guess you went to Germany
Some new man pressin' up against your cheek
I hope he makes you laugh the way you used to do with me
And that he understands the hurt you're hidin' underneath
'Cause now I'm nothin' but an old flame
Just the boy from your family's town
Tiny little no-name
Bet you don't even remember it now
But I wonder if you ever catch yourself dreamin' about
Strikin' up an old flame
And burnin' out
I know I'm nothin' but an old flame
Just the boy from your family's town
Tiny little no-name
Bet you don't even remember it now
Still I wonder
There's nothin' like an old flame
