[Verse 1] I remember, baby, way back when Your hand in mine through the schoolyard fence Your mama said, “No,” my daddy said, “Go” But we kept that flame in the dark, so low On the back block corner, in the summer rain You kissed me once and I wore that pain Every cold word hit like a brick to the chest Still I came back, you know I never left [Pre-Chorus] They drew the line in the sand Tried to break what we had But your name stayed on my tongue Like a fire I couldn’t drag [Chorus] I remember baby from way back when When love was our sin, but we loved again Our parents told us we couldn’t be together Couldn’t be together, but we held forever I remember baby from way back when When love was our sin, but we loved again [Verse 2] Now I see your face in the passing crowd Same sharp eyes, same no-back-down We were young and wild, too loud for the room Two hearts in a storm and a half-broken tune They locked every door, tried to cut us clean But you were the first thing I ever believed If they want the truth, let the truth walk in I was yours back then, I’d be yours again [Pre-Chorus] They drew the line in the sand Tried to break what we had But your name stayed on my tongue Like a fire I couldn’t drag [Chorus] I remember baby from way back when When love was our sin, but we loved again Our parents told us we couldn’t be together Couldn’t be together, but we held forever I remember baby from way back when When love was our sin, but we loved again [Bridge] Years roll by, but the hurt don’t leave Still I hear that night in the palm trees If the whole world said we were wrong We were wrong together, and that made us strong [Final Chorus] I remember baby from way back when When love was our sin, but we loved again Our parents told us we couldn’t be together Couldn’t be together, but we held forever I remember baby from way back when When love was our sin, but we loved again
