Before We Knew Too Much

(album: This Is Your Brain On Love - 2022)

I was a dreamer
And you were a senior
And you could drive
And I wanted to fly
We'd park that thing
Down, on a dead-end street
Burned a lot more than gasoline
You and me

We were two kids, riding a love drunk high
Yeah, we thought we could climb the Citgo sign
Same side of the same old record
Too busy making out to ever make it to the other side
Cheap liquor someone's older brother bought
Sipping water bottles with the labels off
We were young, we were dumb, we were us
We were love before we knew too much

We were wide-eyed
And we were blind (And we were blind)
Thought love like that could last a couple lifetimes (Lifetimes)
Skipping last class
Laughing like a pair of fools
Only doing things we weren't supposed to do (Supposed to do)
Me and you

We were two kids, riding a love drunk high
Yeah, we thought we could climb the Citgo sign
Same side of the same old record
Too busy making out to ever make it to the other side
Cheap liquor someone's older brother bought
Sipping water bottles with the labels off
We were young, we were dumb, we were us
We were love before we knew too much

That hearts break
And people change (And people change)
And you can try to
But you can't get back to

Two kids, riding a love drunk high
Thought they could climb the Citgo sign
Same side of the same old record
Too busy making out to ever make it to the other side
Cheap liquor someone's older brother bought
Sipping water bottles with the labels off
We were young, we were dumb, we were us
We were love before we knew too much

I was a dreamer
And you were a senior
And you could drive
And I wanted to fly
