We Only Knew

Dedicated to Sierra, Justin, Nick and Karri
This will always be the story of our life...

The nights where we had nothing else to do
Running around the grass screaming about letting go
Those days we wore flip-flops in the mud, regretting it later
Sitting in the bleachers alone talking about our mistakes
Listening to music on the bleachers
Smoking that sweet cigarette in our secret corner
Walking with strangers for a good laugh
Watching one on one football games
Skateboarding in front of the school
Taking endless pictures that no one else understands
Being alone in the football stands
Walking the track when life hurts the most
Truth or dare that changed our life
That kiss that brought us away from reality
The kiss I never would've had if it weren't for that game
How I told you he makes me forget about everything
Tears on his collar, hand on my back
Spring break, I fell in love in our secret corner
My first kiss where no one could see
Hands around my waist, eye war
Embraced by the feeling, yet scared
I believed in us, but I always knew you
Of course nothing worked out because we knew too much about each other
There we were in that football field
Day and night, no one understood what we saw there
But it was this thing that somehow we could only believe in
Everything happened there, the things that imprint in your mind
Words never had to be said to make a statement
Someplace elsewhere would've done
But we spent nights picking at grass and having little fights
But we were so close no matter how much we stepped on broken glass
Spending rainy days in the dugout
Desperate for a cigarette and a kiss
Where no other arms made more sense to climb in
Scary nights where we ran from a trick of light
Mornings where we somehow knew where we would end up
It was all ok, because our hearts broke but we never split them in half
I'll always remember how we spent our last day there
Thank god we had the wind to teach us how to let go
