[Verse 1] We were kids by the canal Your hand fit in mine Blue jeans, cheap soda And a stolen little shine We wrote our names in dust On the back of your bike You looked at me like I was your whole life [Pre-Chorus] And I still see it When the summer breaks Fading in my rearview Like a ghost that stays [Chorus] Twenty five summers ago You were my only home Twenty five summers ago We were wild and soft and slow I still feel that spark In the same old dark Twenty five summers ago Twenty five summers ago [Verse 2] Now the town looks smaller Same train, same rain But every corner whispers Your name in my brain I heard you married young You heard I moved away Funny how a whole life Can still taste like yesterday [Pre-Chorus] And I still see it In the summer heat Your laugh on the driveway Your shoes at my feet [Chorus] Twenty five summers ago You were my only home Twenty five summers ago We were wild and soft and slow I still feel that spark In the same old dark Twenty five summers ago Twenty five summers ago [Bridge] Maybe that's the trick Love never really leaves It hides in old postcards And the shade beneath the trees I don't need to go back I just need to know Somewhere in the world That version of us glows [Final Chorus] Twenty five summers ago You were my only home Twenty five summers ago We were wild and soft and slow I still feel that spark In the same old dark Twenty five summers ago Twenty five summers ago [Outro] If I close my eyes I can almost go Back to twenty five summers ago
