Just Long Enough

(album: Steel Town - 2017)

It only took you a second
To get under my skin
Put a bookmark in the page of the shoes that I was in
At the time it was nothing
But with some distance on it, man, its something that I can't forget
Still wondering where it went

Cause it was just long enough to mess me up, if I let my heart go there
From who we were running around with to the feeling in the air
Lights in your eyes on a field on Friday
Goodbye, leaves turn green to red
Yeah, like I said
It wasn't forever, but whatever it was
Was just long enough
It was just long enough

Your favorite verse in a song coming on the radio
You stole a drag from my cigarette, and you hope your mom don't know
Then a ride on the backstreets, heart racing in the backseats
Wish you wouldn't ever fade away, but I guess it never does

When it's just long enough to mess me up, if I let my heart go there
From who we were running around with to the feeling in the air
Lights in your eyes on a field on Friday
Goodbye, leaves turn green to red
Yeah, like I said
It wasn't forever, but whatever it was
Was just long enough
It was just long enough

There's days that come and go and you never think about them again
But there's some you can't let go
There's day that come and go and you never think
But then there's the ones that wake you up and take you back
While I get sad

It's just long enough to mess me up if I let my heart go there
From who we were running around with to the feeling in the air
Lights in your eyes on a field on Friday
Goodbye, leaves turn green to red
Yeah, like I said
It wasn't forever, but whatever it was
Was just long enough
It was just long enough

It was just long enough
It was just long enough
Yeah
Only took you a second
It was just long enough
