Lyrics: canal street

As I walk down Canal Street, I see the girls with the low rise jeans
But they do nothing to me
'Cause these are the streets where we used to be

As I walk down Canal Street, I see the girls that could cover the magazines
But they're just not my scene
'Cause these were the streets where we used to be

Do you still smoke on the patio?
Is your brother still in the hospital?
Do you hear me crying out for you on the radio?
I've got everything I thought I'd need now
But I'm still smoking cigarettes on my couch
And it kills my mom, but it brings me back to you

And I try to go on dates
But none of them are you
None of them are you
And I look for girls with your traits
But none of them are you
None of them are you

Now I'm back in the city
And the lights are looking pretty for the holidays
But all it does is bring me back to your face
This time last year, I was putting the tree up in your place

Do you still smoke on the patio?
Is your brother still in the hospital?
Do you hear me crying out for you on the radio?
I've got everything I thought I'd need now
But I'm still smoking cigarettes on my couch
And it kills my mom but it brings me back to you

And I try to go on dates
But none of them are you
None of them are you
And I look for girls with your traits
But none of them are you
None of them are you

Was I what you wanted even for a little while?
Even for a while?

And I try to go on dates
But none of them are you
None of them are you
And I look for girls with your traits
But none of them are you
None of them are you
