Song about long lost lovers getting separated as kids and finding one another and falling in love Well it’s a true story and goes a little something like this Verse 1 We were barefoot on a gravel road Summer sun, nowhere to go You said, “Don’t forget me when we’re grown” I laughed it off like we had time to own Fireflies in a mason jar Dreaming big under Texas stars We were young, didn’t understand Life don’t always go how you planned Pre-Chorus Then one day the world pulled you away No goodbyes, just yesterday Chorus We were long lost lovers in a different life Two hearts drifting through the wrong goodbyes But the years couldn’t bury what we knew back then ‘Cause somehow, some way… I found you again Like a song I forgot but I still could hum Like a place in my soul I was running from Through the miles, through the pain, through the what-ifs and whens We were always gonna find our way back again Verse 2 Different towns, different names Different lovers, same old ache Every road that I went down Felt like it just led me around Saw your face in strangers’ eyes Heard your voice in lullabies Tried to love, tried to move on But it never felt like home Pre-Chorus Then one night in a crowded room Time stood still when I saw you Chorus We were long lost lovers in a different life Two hearts drifting through the wrong goodbyes But the years couldn’t bury what we knew back then ‘Cause somehow, some way… I found you again Like a song I forgot but I still could hum Like a place in my soul I was running from Through the miles, through the pain, through the what-ifs and whens We were always gonna find our way back again Bridge A little older, a little scarred But you still knew me by my heart No words, just that look we knew Like no time had passed between me and you We were written in a line That bends but don’t break with time Chorus (Soft → Big) We were long lost lovers in a different life Two hearts drifting through the wrong goodbyes But the years couldn’t bury what we knew back then ‘Cause somehow, some way… I found you again Like a prayer I whispered when I was alone Like a light in the dark that led me home Through the miles, through the tears, through the might-have-beens We were always gonna find our way back again Outro Back to the gravel, back to the start Same two kids with older hearts You said, “Told you we’d make it someday” And this time… I’m here to stay 💫
