Lyrics

His name was Ryan
And I was seventeen
I'd be lying
If I said I didn't feel a thing
But he was six-foot-something with his hazel eyes
In his red mustang, driving all the girls wild
And driving me home from school everyday
I remember telling myself to stay away
'Cause his lover and mine were off in college in different states
But I still think of senior year
Homecoming parades and all those tears
I cried on the night
I knew I'd never see him again
Back then it was complicated
And who knows, maybe we might have made it
But sometimes, yeah I
I just wonder what might have been
If he wasn't long lost Ryan
Long lost Ryan
I oughta thank him
For all the good memories
Like my rainy birthday
And the secrets we'll always keep
That long trip on the bus showing me Coldplay
Told me I could hold his hand if I wasn't feeling brave
On that roller coaster ride, but I ran away
I don't know if it's my imagination or if he felt the same
But I loved another boy that left me
And he's still with his girl today
But I still think of senior year
Homecoming parades and all those tears
I cried on the night
I knew I'd never see him again
Back then it was complicated
And who knows, maybe we might have made it
But sometimes, yeah I
I just wonder what might have been
If he wasn't long lost Ryan
Long lost Ryan
My only regret is that
I left so much unsaid
But I still think of senior year
Homecoming parades and all those tears
I cried on the night
I knew I'd never see him again
Back then it was complicated
And who knows, maybe we might have made it
But sometimes, yeah I
I just wonder what might have been
If he wasn't long lost Ryan
Long lost Ryan
His name was Ryan
And I was seventeen
And I'd be lying
If I said I never feel a thing
