A Year Ago Lyrics

One year ago I dressed up

Just to walk to class

In case I ran into you on the way

There or on the way back (on the way back home)

Then on a Tuesday I finally did

But I had to hide how big I was smiling

Cause I didn't want you to read my heart or my head

In case I was alone in it

And that was a year ago

One year ago we stood on the lawn

Talking as people filtered around us

And they left as the sun

Clocked out and the stars turned on

A friend passed by

Asked what we were still doing

We froze under telltale moonlight

Then you walked me home and said goodnight

I watched from the window till you were out of sight

And that was a year ago

Now I don't have to worry that I'm caught up in my imagination

I know you reciprocate my admiration

A year ago I didn't know

Who you would be to me now

One year ago I sat down at a dinner date

And I was so nervous that I could barely touch my plate

The humidity unraveled the curls in my hair

My legs were shaking under the table

But looking up I saw you there

And I knew it was right even though I was scared

And that was a year ago

And now I can see you're exactly who my heart has needed

You've patiently held my hand while the waves of my worries have all receded

A year ago I didn't know who you would be to me now

A year ago I didn't know who you would be to me now
