We Were Never That Kind

Verse

Fifteen and reckless on a borrowed bike path

Radio static and our names turned rash

Someone's grandma waving from the front porch light

We thought forever felt like it was tonight

Pre-Chorus

So what if this is all we get?

Do we spend it right or just regret?

Chorus

This isn't forever, but let's pretend it is

Counting every laugh before the summer dies

We were never that kind of family bound

Just two wild kids spinning out in a small town

Verse 2

Now I'm thirty-three and your Facebook post says retired

Still got the scarf you knotted when we felt fired up

I saw you at the diner, coffee cup gone cold

You smiled like nothing changed but I heard a story told

Pre-Chorus

So what if this is all we get?

Do we spend it right or just regret?

Chorus

This isn't forever, but let's pretend it is

Counting every laugh before the summer dies

We were never that kind of family bound

Just two wild kids spinning out in a small town

Bridge

Maybe forever was always smoke and fire

Never meant to last just for one year of your life

So I'm saying thanks instead of saying goodbye

You taught me gold in sixty-four days gone by

Chorus

This isn't forever, but let's pretend it is

Counting every laugh before the summer dies

We were never that kind of family bound

Just two wild kids spinning out in a small town
