when we were teens Lyrics

Just woke up from a dream that felt so real

Of high school days that sometimes still haunt me

A teenage dream that went bad and left a sting

A story of the one who got away

It took me back, back to 12th grade days

The moment I first saw her felt like it was meant to be

So I prayed that I would see her during breaks

Living for the moments when I could see her face

Was hoping that she'd be the one

Before her Facebook status changed and they went on

Back when we were young

John Mayer playing on repeat

My heart broke and it felt so bittersweet

Back when we where teens

Waking up, she was on my mind

Every day was like chasing butterflies

She'd make my day when she'd come talk to me

Before the moments somehow slowly passed away

Sleeping on the bus ride home

To numb the feeling I was on my own

Back when we were young

I'd see them every couple of weeks

Smiling, holding hands, my heart would bleed

Back when we were teens
