Corey

Twelve years ago beneath the pool hall lights

You leaned in for a kiss and held me tight

I still hear "Linger" playing soft and slow

The night you made this heart of mine let go

You had a way of making me feel wanted

A gentle kind of safe I took for granted

You always had a joke to make me smile

But I haven't seen that Corey for a while

Where is the man that I used to know?

The one who loved me sweet and held me close

I'm searching for the boy who caught my eye

The man I can be proud to call all mine

I need the arms that used to keep me safe

I miss the laughs we shared in this old place

Corey, tell me where did that man go?

Where is the man that I used to know?

We used to spend our evenings by the stove

Just cooking up a dinner full of love

Controllers in our hands, we’d play our games

And I swore nothing in this world could change

We'd stay up talking till the morning sun

Back when it felt like we had just begun

I miss the simple way we used to be

When it was only ever you and me

Where is the man that I used to know?

The one who loved me sweet and held me close

I'm searching for the boy who caught my eye

The man I can be proud to call all mine

I need the arms that used to keep me safe

I miss the laughs we shared in this old place

Corey, tell me where did that man go?

Where is the man that I used to know?

I haven't given up upon us yet

I just want back the Corey that I met

I'm holding out for who we used to be

I want to look at you and finally see

The partner who would stand right by my side

The one that I could boast about with pride

Where is the man that I used to know?

The one who loved me sweet and held me close

I'm searching for the boy who caught my eye

The man I can be proud to call all mine

I need the arms that used to keep me safe

I miss the laughs we shared in this old place

Corey, tell me where did that man go?

I miss the man that I used to know.
