lyrics

If I smoke enough cigarettes
His specter will soon manifest
And I’ll have someone to help me tend the fire
And if I drink enough of this beer
Maybe then he will appear
And we can just sit and talk and admire

But if we keep this party going
Maybe he will show up
He’ll say sorry I’m late
We’ll laugh and cry and hug
And maybe even debate
About what it means to miss someone

Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets

And if I say I’m sorry enough
Maybe then I’ll still feel his love
But you and I both know that it never stopped
Oh I know there’s nothing to do
But hold onto the thought of you
But I can’t help the feeling I’ve been robbed

But if we keep this party going
Maybe he will show up
He’ll say sorry I’m late
We’ll laugh and cry and hug
And maybe even debate
About what it means to miss someone

Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets

I love you
I miss you
I want to be with you
I love you
I miss you
I want to be with you

Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets
Oh Bobby Streets

And if I sing this silly song
One day I’ll hear you sing along
And that’s enough to get me through the day
