Mike’s On My Mind

[Verse 1] Met Mike on the corner after last bell rang Skateboard scars and a backpack, same last name Split fries, split secrets in a diner booth He said, “No one really knows me, but I think you do” [Chorus] Mike’s on my mind when the night gets quiet Laugh in my head like a hometown riot All of my days got his name in the margins Mike’s on my mind, and my heart keeps starting [Verse 2] Summers on the stoop with the warm air thick He rolled my first dare, I picked my first risk Said, “If they talk, let ‘em talk, they don’t live our life” I watched his mouth, not the smoke, and just said, “You’re right” [Chorus] Mike’s on my mind when the night gets quiet Laugh in my head like a hometown riot All of my days got his name in the margins Mike’s on my mind, and my heart keeps starting [Bridge] Years might pass, streets might change But his old hoodie still calls my name (oh yeah) If I ever leave this place behind I’m packing one thing Mike on my mind [Chorus] Mike’s on my mind when the night gets quiet Laugh in my head like a hometown riot All of my days got his name in the margins Mike’s on my mind, and my heart keeps starting
