#5

We met when I was just a girl of eighteen
Roadtripping across the country with some friends
We'd heard another group of kids had checked into our hotel
And I peeked out the door and I saw you

For a moment
The world stood still
My heart skipped a beat
I forgot how to breathe
And when I remembered
I breathed in you.

Those summer days
Went on forever
Those summer nights
We wished would never end
But the sun always comes up in the morning
And in the light of day things change
Nothing stays the same

Time and went by and we broke up and made up again
So many times we finally lost count
And then one summer I finally moved in with you
I realized that life was something I could never do
I left and returned to school
And then I found out I was going to have your baby

For a moment
The world stood still
My heart skipped a beat
I forgot how to breathe
And when I remembered
It wasn't for you

Those summer days
Went on forever
Those summer nights
We wished would never end
But the sun always comes up in the morning
And in the light of day things change
Nothing stays the same

Fast forward five years
There you are
And here I am
I swore giving up was never an option
But here we are now
I'm taking my baby and we're moving on
I've finally learned
When the whole world is crashing down around you
You've gotta stand tall on your own

I'll always remember

Those summer days
That went on forever
Those summer nights
We wished would never end
But the sun always comes up in the morning
And in the light of day things change
Nothing stays the same
