Met you in English class Second row Eyes met I forgot my name Too shy to say a word You took the lead You asked me out Friday felt a year away Goofy Golf Tacos and shake We stayed out till midnight Class ring on my finger All wrapped up with yarn Spelling out your name Everyone could see we were That couple in the hallway frame Thought the world was you and me Pep rallies and late-night dreams You said “You’re mine Don’t let it go” Class ring Class ring Promise in a circle of gold First kiss in your falcon Windows fogged Old love songs We missed curfew Didn’t wanna drive me home Yearbook ink, cap and gown I found work on the edge of town You packed up for some campus two hours away But you swore that nothing would change Class ring on my finger All wrapped up with yarn Spelling out your name Everyone could see we were That couple in the hallway frame Thought the world was you and me Pep rallies and late-night dreams You said “You’re mine Don’t let it go” Class ring Class ring Promise in a circle of gold Now I’m in this small apartment Boxes stacked against the wall This feels so very empty I still sleep in your old shirt (oh) No phones to call you You feel so much farther Classes a joke Roommate horrible I twist that ring and ask the ceiling Are we bigger than this distance? Class ring on my finger All wrapped up with yarn Trembling with the weight Everyone still thinks we’re That couple in the hallway frame But life is loud and time runs mean Job timecards and college dreams Can we hold on Can we grow? Class ring Class ring Teach us how to let young love grow You quit your classes You came back to me Got down on one knee I screamed yes Three months later God joined us together Bought a camper Our journey began Making jewelry and doing shows Each town was new to us Growing up together along the way Our love growing with each new mile The adventures we had The life we shared Coming back home Start a new life of our own Our Love Will Stay Strong
