Intro: (verse) Well I see the souls of so many friends And I see us all back here again. With sandy floors and ceiling fans A Rastafarian one-man band with songs That fill my memories like a tip jar. Yeah that’s what I see when I see this bar. (verse) I see tourists at Christmas time And I taste beers with a hint of lime. I feel lonely cause it’s not the same Different faces and different names Living like pirates out among the stars. Yeah that’s what I see when I see this bar. Pieces of our past slowly slip away But time just stands still when I walk in this place. (verse) And I see a kid coming into his own And a man learning to move on. Somehow trying to find his way A dreamer betting on blind faith Chasing that sun and following his heart. Yeah that’s what I see when I see this bar. Instrumental: Pieces of our past slowly slip away But time just stands still when I walk in this place. (verse) A few have moved on back to Maine Jacksonville and Key Biscayne. Some are still living the dream Stuck in still life it seems. No matter where they’ve been or where they are Yeah I see ’em here when I see this bar. when I see this bar. (verse-out) I wonder where we go from here (That’s what I see when I see this bar) Life ain’t over but it’s always near (That’s what I see when I see this bar) I think about all the good times that we had (That’s what I see when I see this bar) It makes me happy and it makes me sad (That’s what I see when I see this bar) How could we be so close now so far apart (That’s what I see when I see this bar) That’s what I feel that’s what I see (when I see this bar) Yeah we were living like pirates and wannabe stars That’s what I see when I see this bar (fade) That’s what I see when I see this bar

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les souvenirs et les liens d’amitié que l’on retrouve dans un bar, un endroit chargé d’histoires et de moments partagés. L'artiste se remémore des instants passés avec des amis, évoquant des atmosphères tropicales, les rires et les mélodies qui résonnent dans sa mémoire. Malgré le passage du temps et les changements inévitables, il exprime un sentiment de nostalgie et de réconfort en revenant à cet endroit, où des fragments du passé refont surface. On perçoit un mélange de joie et de mélancolie, à mesure qu'il se rend compte que, bien que certains aient pris des chemins différents, l'essence de ces souvenirs reste vivante. C’est un hymne aux moments précieux de la vie partagés entre amis, où le simple fait de se retrouver au même endroit peut faire revivre toutes les émotions ressenties.
