I got new shoes, stepped onto the court
I knew you'd like the pair I bought
I wore bright blue mascara
Did you notice that too?
Every choice I made then was for you
What happened in all the years apart?
Used to have your photo in a heart
Fourteen, about to leave high school
Move to a different town
I thought time would stop without you around
Life rolled out like a lyric to the sad songs that we danced to
Not then knowing their meaning but you taught me and I taught you
You came back when we lost one of our friends
We wept for hours, thought it wouldn't end
Drove to the Indian ocean walked out into the waves
We were seventeen and forever changed
Life rolled out like a lyric to the sad songs that we danced to
Not then knowing their meaning but you taught me and I taught you
Time moved on with the seasons throwing heavens in between us
Not then knowing the sad songs that would see us through the distance
Years passed by in a moment
Only see you when I'm sleeping
To slip love notes into school trays
Like the kids we were so many lifetimes ago
I'm drunk at the disco and you catch me as I'm falling
Now I'm waking, don't know where time goes
Life rolled out like a lyric to the sad songs that we danced to
Not then knowing their meaning but you taught me and I taught you
