Verse 1 You were my first, my only flame No one else ever knew my name We stole away, young hearts on fire Kisses hidden, borrowed time Friday nights with nowhere to be Cruisin’ streets just you and me Windows down, the radio loud Singin’ like the world wasn’t around Pre-Chorus Long hair fallin’, that easy smile Your voice could stop me for a while Movies late in the back row dark Didn’t know then what I was in Chorus I had the dream, the once-in-a-life The kind of love you don’t outgrow You loved the songs, the games, the nights Everything that made me whole All my friends said, “Man, you won” And I knew it too, every bit Yeah, you were the one The one everyone wishes they get Verse 2 Weekends gone like getaway trains Chasin’ moments, breakin’ chains Same old music, same old teams Laughin’ hard, livin’ dreams Rides to nowhere, didn’t need a plan Just gas in the tank and your hand in mine Jamming tunes, losing track of time Every mile felt like a sign Pre-Chorus 2 Concert lights and cheap seats high Every song felt like it was ours Every room lit when you walked in I was already too far gone Chorus I had the dream girl, the real thing The kind you don’t just find twice Same music, same crazy ideas Burnin’ up those younger nights All my friends said, “Don’t let her go” Man, I knew they were right Yeah, I had the one Back when love felt endless and life was light Bridge When miles came in and pulled us apart We crossed them anyway, heart to heart Red-eye flights and late-night calls Two-hour talks, remember them all? Time moved on like it always does Left me here with an echo of us Final Chorus I had the dream, the once-in-a-life The kind of love you don’t forget First true fire, first real high Yeah, I’ve never topped it yet If heaven lets me choose one thing I’d go back, no second guess To when you were mine We were young—and man, we were blessed
