i loved you then

June fourteenth, Tampa beach
I remember you and me
Sunburnt shoulders, gettin' closer
Barely breathin' in that heat
Way back in a nosebleed row
Tipsy talkin' through the show
Sparks were flyin', I was fallin'
Like confetti on the floor

Lookin' back, I should've known
Looked at you the whole ride home
Soft brown eyes and just friends
But I loved you then

And I know I never told you
But I said it in my head
There were sirens goin' off and
Lights goin' red
And I know I never showed it
But I felt it in my chest
In a drink line, in the summertime
I loved you then

Yeah, I loved you then

New York City, August rain
Little closer, little brave
T-shirt stickin' to my skin
It's like a movie in my brain
And you grabbed my hand at Central Station
Baby, all it would've taken
Was one more drink to admit
That I loved you then

And I know I never told you
But I said it in my head
There were sirens goin' off and
Lights goin' red
And I know I never showed it
But I felt it in my chest
On a Tuesday, on an M train
I loved you then

Yeah, I loved you then

Oh
Did you get the messages I sent?
Did you read between the lines? Could you see it in my eyes?
Did you know me better than I did?
Did it eat you up alive? Did you know the whole time?
Did you get the messages I sent?
Did you read between the lines? Could you see it in my eyes?
Did you know me better than I did?
Did it eat you up alive? Did you know the whole time?
