Remember when
We sat under the stars
And kissed the moon goodnight
That was when
I had a shitty car and
Always needed you for something
It was so different then
I called you my best friend
It complicated when
I found myself
Wishing that you were mine
Wishing that you were mine
I lay down my pride
Until you realize
I recall being so afraid
That you won’t feel the same
I've heard it all
You don’t want things to change
This might go up in flames
Our tears would fall like rain.
It was so different then
I called you my best friend
It complicated when
I found myself
Wishing that you were mine
Wishing that you were mine
I lay down my pride
Until you realize
I broke your heart
You broke mine
Is this the outcome
when two hearts collide
I should’ve heard your warning
I should’ve let it ride
I could’ve been a better man
I could’ve been more wise
You're drifting on the ocean of my mind
I’m treading water praying you won’t pass me by
Oh I'm still
Wishing that you were mine
Wishing that you were mine
I lay down my pride
Until you realize
