Do you remember the day I met you
It was down by the water
Had a way about you that I

Could not forget

I couldn't wrap my mind around you

And I sure as hell couldn't build a rhyme around you
I've been trying so long
Still haven't managed yet


You didn't seem to see that I needed you around
And I didn't realize it was a two-way street

Until now

I was just a boy

You were never just a girl
We spent a long time running
Back around each other

Locking up our hearts
When we'd both love to get inside


It's been a long time now
But never really over
Thinking back to days

When I know that you were hoping
Just to find your place
Where the door was open wide

But that was back in stranger times

So we'd go to the same groups

And listen to the same tunes
You looked to me and I'd look to you
Spending time with you was never

Wasted forever
Tasted so close like a
(Ring around the rosie)

But oh no it's not as easy as A B C or 1 2 3
Do re me
So lassie

Don't say you remember
Just say that you can see
What we could be






Do you see what I see
When I look back at you and me?

Cause I remember

I was just a boy

You were never just a girl
We spent a long time running
Back around each other

Locking up our hearts
When we'd both love to get inside


It's been a long time now
But never really over
Thinking back to days

When I know that you were hoping
Just to find your place
Where the door was open wide

But that was back in stranger times

And I know that this was over long before I began

To befriend the elephant in the back room
He came out looking for love
But yours had got old and died


Now with every little memory I keep inside
Like silly texts and tests and photographs and backhanded compliments

Together we weathered and whatever the weather we were alive
Alive


Well I was just a boy
And the world was so much older
Every move you made
Had an awe-inspiring aura
Like a comet's trace

Drives a sword through the starry sky

Well I was just a boy
You were never just a girl
We spent a long time running

Back around each other
Locking up our hearts
When we'd both love to get inside

It's been a long time now

But never really over
Thinking back to days
When I know that you were hoping
Just to find your place
Where the door was open wide

(but that was back in stranger times)

If we can make it work
We can work to make it over
Cause you're just a girl
But I'll never be your lover

Til the planet turns you to look back into my eyes
Looking back at stranger times

Back in stranger
I'll never be a stranger
Cause I'm still hoping to find
Myself back in stranger times
