Oh, our futures were written with crayons in coloring books
F C
It was misspelled and outside the lines and we loved how it looked
C Em
Like the crooked hem of your favorite childhood dress
F C
And the holes in my jeans from years of carelessness
F C
I know since we've grown, we ache for those memories
F C Em C
Honestly, nothing's even compared to you next to me, next to me
C Em
When the words came to you for the first time, you knew you were hooked
F C
And the pride that you felt at the last page of your first book
C Em
And the bravery I forced when I sang to an audience of three
F C
Well, it took a million wrong notes just to find a single melody and key
F C
I know since we've grown we plea for clarity
F C Em F
Honestly, nothing's ever made sense til you were next to me, next to me
Em C Em F
If time is money, then I'll spend it all for you
Em C Em F
I will buy you flowers with the minutes we outgrew
Em C Em F
I'll turn hours into gardens, planted just for us to take
Em C Em F
I'll be reckless with my days, building castles in your name
C
Since we've grown, we long for concrete things
F C Em
Honestly, nothing's felt so sure than when you were next to me, next to me
( C Em F C C )
C Em
So lets cut down the red tape and gather up the pieces of our youth
F C
Cause there's nothing in this world we can't fix with some scissors and glue
