[English]

We were sixteen but I have

Known you since second grade

We were best friends but I have

Wanted you in different ways

We would pass notes in Science

And I would end 'em with a heart

We would pass the extra time in

The back of my beat-up car

It was love

I know you know that

It was us

I wish I could go back

To sneaking around at night

And thinking we had our whole lives

It was love

I know you know that

I don't think I ever told you

I hated that it had to end

But it was two months until you

Started dating my best friend

Never mind, this is stupid

But I just had to say

Even though I know you're married

I think about you every day

It was love

I know you know that

It was us

I wish I could go back

To sneaking around at night

And thinking we had our whole lives

It was love

I know you know that

It was love

I know you know that

It was us

I wish I could go back

To sneaking around at night

And thinking we had our whole lives

It was love

I know you know that

It was love

It was us

It was love

It was us

Sneaking around at night

And thinking we had our whole lives

It was love

I know you know that
