I push my notebook aside for a study break
Find the song that you love on my phone.
Turn up the volume as high as it goes
Let the sweet melody take me back home.

Close my eyes and hear your voice in my head
Let the lyrics bring memories to fall into
When the song stops it hurts to open my eyes
But I hit replay to feel closer to you.

Oh, I remember some lifetimes ago
You walked smiling through the old battered door.
And my heart lifted, but then I didn't know
You would one day be my favorite hello
Though you won't know I'll miss you so
Can I get a goodbye when I go?

I look back at some photos from the past
Your old T-shirts, baggy shorts, messy hair
Now you've grown up into a real heartbreaker
But the boy I first loved is still there.

Oh, I remember just a summer ago
You made me laugh before my tears overflowed
And my heart lifted, but then I didn't know
You were my warmth when I felt cold and alone
You never know how far your sweetness goes
Maybe that's the reason why I love you so.

Oh my sweetheart
You are the only one I turn to
To give me hope for all that's good and true.
The songs you gave me
Broke my heart to listen through
But I don't care; I felt closer to you.
