[Verse 1]

Take it slow
              
Tell me all ho

             
w you've grown

          
 just for me

Could we all reminisce

Better yet, he

re's a pen
       
Make a list
        
Fill it full w

ith all the th

ings I've miss

ed
             
'Cause I can b


arely drive pa

st the school
    
Without stoppi

ng to think of

 you
    
And how we use

d to act a foo

l
    
But worst of a

ll I wish I ca

lled
              
At least a tho

     
usand times or

 more

Just to hear w

hat I've been 

missing


[Chorus]
            
If a picture i

             
s all that I h

ave
              
I can picture 

              
the times that

    
 we won't get 

back
              
If I picture i

              
t now it don't

  
 seem so bad
              
Either way, I 

              
still wish you

      
 were here
              
Don't say ever

              
ything's meant

    
 to be
              
'Cause you kno

              
w it's not wha

        
t I believe
              
Can't help but

              
 think that it

              
 should've bee

  
n me
              
Either way, I 

              
still wish you

      
 were here

[Verse 2]
         
Thinking back 

on the days
              
Where we all u

       
sed to say
       
I know anywher

e's better tha

n here
       
In the back of

 the class
              
Where we grew 

       
up too fast
       
Living life li

ke there's not

hing to fear
        
But the eyes o

n the road
        
Driving home a

ll alone
         
Singing along 

to a song from

 three summers

 ago
             
The one that m

ade you rememb

er it
         
Now I'll alway

s remember it
       F         N.C.
As the song that your life ended with


[Chorus 1]

            
If a picture i

             
s all that I h

ave
              
I can picture 

              
the times that

    
 we won't get 

back
              
If I picture i

              
t now it don't

  
 seem so bad
              
Either way, I

Don't say ever
