[Verse 1]
It was never gonna work
Distance was too far
Trust issues and rental cars
You are never gonna change
I made peace with it enough
But sometimes it comes up

[Pre-Chorus]
Next thing I know
I'm there at that dive bar in San Diego
And seeing your face through the cigarette smoke
And I hate that I almost want you to know

[Chorus]
Lipstick stains on a crystal glass
Sometimes I kinda miss the past
Gold chains, old spice, ain't it sad?
The smallest things always take me back

[Post-Chorus]
No matter where I go, no matter who I'm with
The smallest things always take mе back
After all this time, I need more of it
Thе smallest things always take me back
[Verse 2]
Yeah, we wanted different things
Your dreams fought with mine
Wasn't willing to compromise
Yeah, we argued constantly
But sometimes I wonder how
Different it would be now

[Pre-Chorus]
Next thing I know
I'm there at that dive bar in San Diego
And seeing your face through the cigarette smoke
And I hate that I almost want you to know

[Chorus]
Lipstick stains on a crystal glass
And sometimes I kinda miss the past
Gold chains, old spice, ain't it sad?
The smallest things always take me back

[Post-Chorus]
No matter where I go, no matter who I'm with
The smallest things always take me back
After all this time, I need more of it
The smallest things always take me back
[Outro]
(Back, back, back, back)
(Back, back, back)
(Back, back, back, back)
The smallest things always take me back (Back, back, back)
(Back, back, back, back)
The smallest things always take me back (Back, back, back)
