VERSE 1
We knew it all from a little thing
It was everything in our first minute
And it took us to another place
Yeah another place and we fell in it
PRE-CHORUS 1 (Guitar 2: Palm-muted)
How dare you not remember
How dare you walk away
VERSE 2
We adored every little thing
Every little thing would leave us breathless
Every dawn spelled another day
And in another day we weren't so restless
PRE-CHORUS 2 (Guitar 2: Palm-muted)
How dare you not remember
How dare you walk away
CHORUS
And I wanted you so much
Just like I do right now
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
I wanted it to last
I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way
VERSE 3
We walked around in a heavy haze
We were stuck in days of so much warring
We got lost in a tricky maze
Yeah a tricky maze that was so scarring
PRE-CHORUS 3 (Guitar 2: Palm-muted)
How come you can't remember
How dare you walk away
VERSE 4
Then you start to add the little things
Add the little things and trip the mighty
Now we got a little bitter thing
A little bitter thing that grew like ivy
PRE-CHORUS 4 (Guitar 2: Palm-muted)
And how dare you not remember
How dare you walk away
CHORUS
And I wanted you so much
Just like I do right now
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
I wanted it to last
I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way
BRIDGE
And apathy grows quietly where rapture used to fly
And promises and certainty have left love here to die
Won't you stay and don't let this one fall away
OUTRO CHORUS
And I wanted you so much
Just like I do right now
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
I wanted it to last
I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way
And I wanted you so much
Just like I do right now
I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about
I wanted it to last
I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way
, , , /
Yeah well life got in the way
