How It All Started

It all started one day in May
Trying on our caps and gowns
It suddenly hit me like a 50 pound weight
We would both be leavin town
We’d been best friends since the
second grade
But time was countin’ down
Said It feels like I’m losing you forever
So let’s be together now

That summer after graduation
It was more than just infatuation
Even now I still believe we were in love
Drove around all night just to be together
No place to go, but it didn’t matter
The back seat of the car was good enough
Thought no time or space could ever keep
us parted
That’s how it all started

At first the letters came every day
I wrote back every night
Soon I was just getting in the way
Of your new friends and life
When I went to visit you out at school
We both knew it was the end
At the Greyhound there was nothing
left to say
But I’ll never feel that way again

That summer after graduation
It was more than just infatuation
Even now I still believe we were in love
Young and tan down by the shore
Trying everything and still wanting more
How could we know goodbye would be
so tough
Never crossed our minds to keep our
hearts guarded
That’s how it all started

Now love has been a bumpy road for me
Now I don’t let go, I don’t give in
We were prob’ly never meant to be
Oh but wasn’t it easy back then

That summer after graduation
It was more than just infatuation
Even now I still believe we were in love
Old enough to really give it all
Too young to see or fear the fall
Before the real world made us hard
and tough
I wanna love like I’ve never been
broken hearted
That’s how it all started
It all started one day in May
Trying on our caps and gowns
