The Girl I Knew

Haven't seen you since school
I grew up cool
Old and wise but still a young hearted fool

Stupid of me not to listen to cupid
I couldn't pull the trigger
Was too afraid to do it

I knew I'd regret never forget
The moment we met I'm so upset
Not many times so prime for the taking
Like diamonds falling from palm trees shaking

Butterflies pulling on your heartstrings, playing
Used to feel heartbreak aching
Advice to the kids, take a chance and miss
Or your own butt you'll kick

My heart was stone cold when I hit rock bottom
Missing opportunities that came knocking
Whatever happened put it behind ya
Look forward to mañana
I'd like to spend some time with ya.

There's no other like you in my life
But I'm just another lover in your eyes

I guess its fine I'll spend my time
Thinking of you

The things we'd do
The way you move
Don't wanna lose the girl I knew

You live and you learn
Sometimes you get burned
See the heat coming around the turn

You'd be proud of me
I've been around the world to see
The best love in life is free
Don't need any money already got a queen
I hit the lottery in a casino playing slot machines

Been waiting so long on the loading screen
Another daily routine
Didn't see it coming, unforeseen
It's only thing in life thats better than how it seems

I can't forget
Your silhouette
That Special dress
The day we met
It was meant
I'm feeling blessed
Don't second guess
You are the best

Lighting struck
Just like a truck
Caught the bug
Drunk on love
Kiss and hugs
The bed and rug
We had our fun
You are the one
