We Were Pretty

They say you'll never forget

Your first love, how you met

But my god wouldn't it be easier to

There's a few things I can regret

I moved in but stayed your guest

And lost all common sense

When you said "I love you"

But I'll keep the photographs

Miss the way you laughed

I don't want it back

But looking back

We were pretty

Daisy dress

Ballroom dancing on a balcony

Midnight kiss

Becoming his on Skaket beach

Sometimes you can't outlast reality

But we were pretty

September wasn't our time

I left home, my dog died

I dreamed I'd be your bride

But I had to find me

So I'll keep the photographs

Miss the way we laughed

I can't have it back

But looking back

We were pretty

Daisy dress

Ballroom dancing on a balcony

Midnight kiss

Becoming his on Skaket beach

It was the prettiest thing I've ever seen

Busy

Subway cars

College parties like a fever dream

The bonfire, you know we were

The very last to leave

Sometimes you can't outlast reality

But we were sitting

At that red light

Counting down the time

For it to turn green

Now it's late at night

Crying while I drive

Call me Great Gatsby

You'll always be the light across my water babe

Who knows if things will ever change

But we were pretty

Daisy dress

Ballroom dancing on a balcony

Skin to skin

Like medicine on New Year's Eve

It was the prettiest thing I've ever seen

Busy

Subway cars

Central Park made me fall so deep

Too the wire

We just got tired trying everything

You can't offset reality

But weren't we pretty
