Lyric

We were sharing headphones

Bus rides after school

Passing notes in margins

Hearts drawn

Trying to look cool

First love

Chalk on pavement

Names in every line we trace

Every single hallway

Felt like our forever place

I still taste the summer

On your cherry cola smile

First love

Chalk on pavement

Faded

But it stays awhile

We were trading mixtapes

Late calls

Tangled cords

Sneaking past your curfew

Whispered "stay" instead of words

Teen love

Backseat stories

Old songs stuck on replay

Every scratched-up record

Sounded like a getaway

I still smell your jacket

On cold walks to your front gate

Teen love

Backseat stories

Leaving always came too late

We were sharing playlists

Tiny downtown room

Takeout on the counter

Bills piled in the gloom

Young love

Cheap wine

Dishes

Burnt toast on a chipped-up plate

Arguing ‘bout nothing

Kissing in the kitchen late

I still hear you laughing

Over traffic by the train

Young love

Cheap wine

Dishes

Holding on through everyday rain

We are trading calendars

Kids’ names on the wall

Empty cups on nightstands

Soft steps down a quiet hall

Grown love

Slow conversation

Hands find hands in tired light

Every small forgiveness

Turns the wrong turns into right

I still feel your heartbeat

When the house is finally still

Grown love

Slow conversation

Stronger than the early thrill

Every age

A different chorus (Oh)

Every room

A brand-new rhyme

You and I keep turning pages

Same two souls

Changing with time

If I had to choose a moment

I would never draw a line

I would take the whole long story

Every season

Yours and mine
