We Were

[00:00.00]
[00:14.546]We were just a couple of years short of the age by my name on a fake ID
[00:20.505]And still 'bout a hundred away from the day your dad said you could run with me
[00:26.369]We were a couple of line-steppers who just couldn't wait to step over the lines
[00:32.585]Never thinking we wouldn't last, I was your first and you were mine
[00:38.338](We were) Leather jackets hanging onto a Harley, two heartbeats in the moonlight
[00:44.144](We were) Both feet hanging out over the edge of the water tower skyline
[00:50.518]At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter though part of me is always gonna miss it
[00:56.406]I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were
[01:13.900]We were gonna make it work with baby, had it all laid out in her mind
[01:19.843]By the time we knew time was running out we'd done run out of time
[01:25.733]We were downtown, Saturday night, last call, cover band
[01:31.742]Till the last song played, never thought we'd fade like the stamp on the back of her hand
[01:37.491](We were) Her on my shoulder, lighter in the air, "pour some sugar on me"
[01:43.363](We were) Top down in Johnson's field when she whispered that she wants me
[01:49.653]At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter though part of me is always gonna miss it
[01:55.543]I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were
[02:13.103](We were) Leather jackets hanging onto a Harley, two heartbeats in the moonlight
[02:19.001](We were) Both feet hanging out over the edge of the water tower skyline
[02:25.153]At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter though part of me is always gonna miss her
[02:31.271]I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were
[02:42.589]Yes, I do
[02:48.724]Friends say, "Oh, well, let that ship sail, you gotta let go of her"
[02:54.691]Just wasn't meant to be but somewhere down deep, I still believe
[03:00.475]That we were
