A thousand times a day I tell you I love the way you sing Even though it makes me cry, it’s my favorite time to be alive And all I know is I feel lost without you “I miss you” is not enough
I know the story’s old; it’s been told a million times before But to tell it feels so good It reminds me that not all I do is right And all I know is I feel so lost without you
Now I remember the day I was a kid in 8th grade Your friend tapped me on my shoulder and asked if I would be your boyfriend Oh, yeah, we were intense then We would walk and hold hands You were taller than me then I got a friend to tell you that I didn’t wanna be anymore Oh, no, not anymore
So then for 3 more years we would never talk And I’m not gonna lie though, I couldn’t stop thinking about you Then your best friends came over and I got them to call you To see if you wanted to watch the band play “Dude Ranch” I knew that that would impress you So then we got to talking and before we knew it we were always on the phone Talking until 4 in the morning Yeah, there was only one problem Now, I never knew your man, never talked to him And still until this day I feel bad for it, but I knew that I loved you And I knew that I had to do something
So I waited till the day that you broke up with him We had a barbeque at our friend Jim’s Then we strolled to the backyard and that’s where we shared our first kiss Then you watched the band play with all your friends And we played our set of Millencolin and Chocking Victim I guess that didn’t impress you ‘Cause then an hour later between you and your friends You told me that you didn’t want to be anymore Oh, no, not anymore
But then a while later we got back together And we told each other we would be forever And since that day we had our share of problems And now we know that it’s hard but better together Oh, yeah, it’s better together
So now we have a house and a couple pets We’re even getting married 9 years after it And every time I see you I still hear trumpets
