[Verse 1: Urthboy]

Oh my God, you were excitement on legs

And everything you said gave me an incitement to beg

I don’t claim to be no expert but I like what I read

Was just tryna get your attention, not get you in bed

We’d hide in your dorm room, you were easy to talk to

You led me on a boulevard of respite I could walk through

For 36 hours thought I’d uncovered a fortune

The truth is I saw nothing else from the wharf’s view

Touched you escort you, court you and hold hands

And you were joking of how I’d be as an old man

My pulse was racing, shaking up my cold hands

Good christian kids behaving like adults can

But it was more than that I had to ask you for your number

This could be an endless summer, that’s the spell I’m under

Didn’t get it even as I bid you adieu

With an ache from something I couldn’t pursue


[Chorus: Mia Dyson]

Oh baby (Baby!), it was over before it began

It was over before it began

It was over before it

Was started, we parted, you walked home

Baby, it was over before it began

It was over before it began

It was over before it

Was started, we parted, you walked home

Baby, it was over before it began

It was over before it began

It was over before it

Was started, we parted, you walked home

Ou

(Come on, yeah)

And I walked home


[Verse 2: Urthboy]

He smiled timidly and that had been how he had hooked me in

Telling, like that awkward split second that I looked at him

He shook my hand, I shook within, barely had I even met him

I wanted to let him occupy my time settings

We sat for hours talking on the rollaway

I flirted how I only knew and laughed at how you’d look like at an older age

It was a golden day and a half another, last of summer

I had to laugh it off right after you had asked my number

You see we’ll both be going back in separate cars

This’ll never last, almost love you my regretful epitaph

I longed to tell him that I meant what I said

When we emptied out it all, all the stuff in our heads

I meant it when we touched as well, was flustered as hell

Tempted by the same reason I can’t trust in myself

Yeah, I bit my lip and waved goodbye, the phone rang

“Oh Fuck!” It was my boy on the line...


[Chorus: Mia Dyson]

Oh baby, it was over before it began

It was over before it began

It was over before it

Was started, we parted, you walked home

Baby, it was over before it began

It was over before it began

It was over before it

Was started, we parted, you walked home

Oh baby, it was over before it began

It was over before it began

It was over before it

Was started, we parted, you walked home

Ou


[Outro: Mia Dyson]

It was over before it began

It was over before it began

It was over before it

Was started, we parted, you walked home

And I walked home
