The summer before you
I thought love was Shakespearean
More or less a painful experience
Only ever real if you're delirious
The summer before you
I let it take a very little oxygen
Nowhere I'd rest my head, more like a ottomon
Never had someone like you to treat me like Solomon

But little did I know
You would be the one I confide in
Learn how to try with
Little did I know
It was you before I ever decided
Oh, oh, oh, little did I know
Oh, oh, oh, little did I know

The summer before you
You can't spell drama without consonants
And I admit, I usually was the cause of it
Now here we are, you got me changing all of it
Slow me down, I want you too
It's different when it comes to you
Hey, yeah

But little did I know
You would be the one I confide in
Learn how to try with
Little did I know
It was you before I ever decided
Yeah, little did I know
You would be the one that would save me
Learn how to change me
Little did I know

Oh, oh, oh, just look at you, can you blame me?
Oh, oh, oh, little did I know
Oh, oh, oh, little did I know

The summer before you
I thought love was Shakespearean
More or less a painful experience
Only ever real if you're delirious

But little did I know
You would be the one I confide in
Learn how to try with
Little did I know
It was you before I ever decided
Yeah, little did I know
You would be the one that would save me
Learn how to change me
Little did I know

Oh, oh, oh, just look at you, can you blame me?
Oh, oh, oh, little (yeah) did I know (did I know)
Oh, oh, oh (oh), little did I know (did I know)
Oh, oh, oh, little did I know that it could feel like this (yeah)
Oh, oh, oh, little, every time I got you on my lips (hey)

The summer before you
