Lyrics

Before We Knew Who We Were


Verse I
I couldn't watch you walk away
It hurt too much to see you crying
I thought we'd make this happen someday
But we didn't work

Though we were closer than friends
We knew our plans would come between us
You made me a better man
Now every time
I picture you in my mind
I remember..

Chorus
That was you and I, running on the wind
Laughing up a storm, our love was being born
We would talk for hours, like there was no time
That was you and I, that was you and I
Before we knew who we were

Verse II
If you wonder why I never write
It's cause I still have feelings for you
and I hear you're with a great guy
but he better see
just how lucky he must be to have found you

and if things ever change
You'll know exactly where to find me
at the pier where we first kissed
and I'll run to you
Catch you in my arms, Like I used to

Chorus
That was you and I, running on the wind
laughing up a storm, our love was being born
We would talk for hours, like there was no time
that was you and I, that was you and I
Before we knew who we were

Bridge
I could be the dad, always on the go
you can be the perfect housewife every man's ever hoped for
briefcase, fresh bread, black coffee, get me fed
you can raise the kids, blow a kiss through the screen door
but changing from the start, we would fall apart,
turning into the strangers we knew we always really were


Chorus II
That was you and I, running on the wind
laughing up a storm, our love was being born
We would talk for hours, like there was no time
that was you and I, that was you and I
Before we knew who we were

That was you and I, running different ways
crying up a storm, our love was slowly torn
we would plan our lives like the fools we were
that was you and I, that was you and I
Before we knew who we were

Outro
I wish you the best, I trully do
For all that you taught me
I need to thank you
Thank you for the good times
thank you for the bad
you've given me some of the best days
I've ever had
