Our first kiss was while we were young, wild and free.
Driving around in your car, singing along to your favorite songs.

Nights like this I think back to the sweet perfection of new love.
Watching the rain roll down the window like so many tears.

Things have changed so much but we stayed the same.
We could have been so much more.

You know you and I , we could have ruled the world.
We put everything to fire and keep it burning up.

Late night drinking in my mommas driveway.
Talking about the truth and how it's everything and everything is now.

I know you're sorry we couldn't be more then star-crossed lovers.
We stole our time together and we used it well.

Vivid playback of the best firsts I ever had.
Everything so natural even though my body shook like leaf in the wind.

So scared , we knew it wasn't meant to last.

Lightning strikes in the distance, crackling like a laughing old witch.
Off you drove into night, hoping things could go down without a stitch .

You always told me to go but you knew well you wanted me to stay.
You're upset and I don't know what next to say.

Old flames tend to burn things to the ground.

I am not sorry for my choices they served me well.
And one day I know you will say the same.

Nostalgia it's worn off and I am but an old lady telling a tale.
Rocking in my chair smiling at the memories and what you meant to me.
