each other's messy lives

Finding warmth on that

cold November night
G
We swore it'd be years
C
before we brought that on
D G
again Days later you said

that we should be more

than just friends

I let my guard down cause
C
the feelings were so strong
G
But acted stupid and

that's when he came along

It's been so long

Verse 2:

We'd sneak out and go

swimming late at night

You're one of few who

can say they've seen me cry

You got my quirkiness and

awkward sense of humor
G
We shared Simpson quote and

started made up rumors
G
If night turned into day
C D
you'd hide me from your mom
G
I could never fight with you

cause you were never wrong

the blame is all on me

If I'd not screwed things

up I wonder where we'd be
