[Verse]
        
You were in co

              
llege working 

          
part time wait

Left a small t

ked back
        
I was a flight

           
 risk with the

  
 fear of falli

n'
         
Wonderin' why 

             
we bother with

  
 love if it ne

ver lasts


[Pre-Chorus]
 
          
I say can you 

               
believe it?
          
As we're lying

                
 on a couch
           
The moment I c

   
an see it
   
Yes, yes I can

 see it now

Flash forward

And I remember

And I ran out 

           
crying and you

            
 followed me o

             
ut into the st
