Seasons Of Us

[Verse 1] Sixteen, hallways smelled like cheap perfume and dreams Caught your eye by the lockers, sunlight caught the gleam Shy smiles traded, notes passed under desks unseen You were my first real kiss, my whole world painted green Summer nights talking 'til the stars began to fade Promises whispered, never thought they'd ever stray Your hand in mine felt like the only map I'd need A teenage heartbeat, planting such a tender seed [Chorus] Oh, we were young love, pure and wild and free A perfect melody, just you and only me Every touch electric, every glance a sweet decree You were my everything, my soul's own harmony Yeah, we were young love, lost inside the sound Two hearts beating, sacred, holy ground [Verse 2] Then the world got heavy, pulled us different ways Whispers turned to arguments through lonely, tear-stained days One last goodbye on a sidewalk cracked and gray You walked away, took my sunshine, left the rain to stay Empty hallways echoed with the ghost of what we were That tender seed felt crushed, just a broken, aching blur Years rolled by like tumbleweeds on a dusty plain Learned to build my walls up, shelter from the pain [Chorus] Oh, we were young love, shattered on the floor A melody unfinished, couldn't sing no more Every empty silence screamed behind a closing door You were my everything, then you weren't, that was the w*r Yeah, we were young love, lost inside the night Two hearts broken, fading out the light [Bridge] Thought I moved on, built a life, stood tall and strong But sometimes in the quiet, I'd hear our old love song A scent, a street corner, would make the memories throng That teenage ache, a whisper, "Did I get it wrong?" Then yesterday, the coffee shop, a crowded, noisy space Looked up, and time just stopped, right there, I saw your face Not the boy I knew, but the man you grew to be Our eyes just locked, a silent, crashing, endless sea [Verse 3] A hesitant step forward, a voice I knew so deep "Remember me?" you whispered, promises you couldn't keep But in your eyes, the same old light began to leap Talking hours, catching up, secrets we did reap The years fell off like autumn leaves, revealing roots below The joy, the sorrow mingled in the afterglow The man you are now holds the boy I loved back then And somehow, feels like coming home, all over again [Chorus] Oh, we found young love, weathered, scarred, but true The melody came back, just me and only you Every touch familiar, every glance feels fresh and new You're still my everything, after all we made it through Yeah, we found young love, stronger in the light Two hearts mended, b*****g ever bright [Outro] (Softly, soulfully) Seasons changed us, tore us down But the roots held deep beneath the ground Found our way back, lost then found Oh, this sweet, sweet sound... Our harmony... finally... rebound...
