[Verse 1]

We met in September, you asked me to dance

On the pavement at recess, you held my hand and

I never drank coffee but you drank it black

And your mom didn't know that's why you never slept

Said that blue was your favorite, so I wore it too

Said it was a boys color but it looks good on you

When we snuck in the class room at quarter past two

Left a mark on my cheek and I smile back at you


[Chorus]

And I never looked back since

But I think about it


[Verse 2]

I still remember the way that we'd play on

The bus back from our school in second grade

And you'd read all your books with your head on my chest

And we'd laugh all the way home 'til your stop was next

Spent my days in the summer all at your place

So I spotted your dimples right at your face

Said that I was your best friend and you love me too

And I told you my world's not complete without you


[Chorus]

And I never looked back since

But I think about it


[Bridge]

Would we still have plans to leave here?

Drive across country lines?

Open fields and empty highways

'Til we see northern lights

We could stay here, we can laugh all night

Like we used to, just forget the time


[Chorus]

And I've never looked back since

But I think about it
