Lunchtime Friday, leave work early
Rushing through the suburbs
To the station to catch the train
Heading up to town to Dave's
To get my gladrags on

'Cause lately I've been running down
Little things catching up
Excuses stretched thin
And it's hard not giving up
But tonight we're going to get it right
We're going to have us a good one

The roll call is missing a name
Since you left things haven't been the same
But I don't blame you
There was nothing here to make you stay

But I remember the way
That you'd light up the room when you walk in
The way that you'd lead the crowd when you sing
Jamie, this one's for you

Pre-club beers at Dan's before we hit the road
We're nicely warmed up, pleasantly half-loaded
Ready for a night on fire
We're going to get out the big guns

But I run down the numbers
And scan through the faces
And run through the plans
And to scout out the places

Electrified, surrounded [Incomprehensible] 01:14
Feeling of still missing
Something or someone

The roll call is missing a name
Since you left things haven't been the same
But I don't blame you
There was nothing here to make you stay

But I remember the way
That you'd light up the room when you walk in
The way that you'd lead the crowd when you sing
Jamie, this one is for you
Jamie, this one is for you

I'm wide awake in the cityscape

You did your time out on the road
One day you stayed away for good
You found a home down by the shore
A place to hang your hat and more

You sent me postcards to tell me
Of slowing down and finding love
The thrill has gone from this city life
I'm not far behind

So you can strike my name from the roll call
When night falls, I'm leaving
There is nothing here to make me stay

When I get to the coast
I will send back a postcard
To tell all my old friends
All about my new start

Jamie, I will see you soon
Jamie, I will see you soon
Jamie, I will see you soon
Jamie, I will see you soon
