Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming eighth notes with percussive mutes] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals] I wasn’t even seventeen when I learned about the world and She was just a little bit older But we were only fifteen when she said it isn’t love yet But I swore that I had known her She could be anything She could be anything She could be anything We were only seventeen and we thought we knew it all If I was just a little older [Chorus] She was just a babe and I was just a boy and We were so unaware trying to pretend and I could not help myself and I could not feel the same But she could not understand [Verse 2] I was just a little bit lost in my head and She was just a little bit colder We were skipping classes, lying to ourselves Thinking growing up would hold her I could be anything I could be anything But nothing that she wanted I was just a little bit scared of the end and She was just a little bit stronger [Chorus] She was just a babe and I was just a boy and We were so innocent learning how to bend and I could not help myself and I could not stay the same And she could not understand [Bridge] We were drawing constellations in the parking lot Talking big about forever like we knew a lot Every kiss a question, every fight a test Learning how to hurt each other, trying our best You were saying “wait” when I was saying “run” I was calling “us” what you were calling “fun” Every “this is nothing” felt like everything We were only kids who thought we were a fling [Chorus] She was just a babe and I was just a boy and We were so seventeen breaking as we mend and I could not help myself and I could not stay the same But now I understand [Outro] [acoustic guitar continues rhythmic strumming] [vocal melody hummed softly] [final percussive guitar mute]
