Those Nights

Our story starts summer of twenty-one
When you were just another someone
Fate took its toll and the stars aligned
Two unexpected opposing signs

Am I the only one that regrets suppressing feelings
Now we're not even friends
Did you ever grasp the punchline
'I never got the chance to call you mine'

Now I wonder
(1-2-3-4)

Do you remember staring at me from across the room
I saw your face and instantly I knew I wanted you
But when they dimmed the lights
I lost your sights
Now only pictures can remind me of those nights

Do you remember everyone knowing but us?
Felt like a school kid with a stupid little crush
If I could turn back time
I wouldn't be so blind
Now only pictures can remind me of those nights

So I'll live vicariously through her and what could be
'Cause even though I'm the one on his arm
Your name is tattooed on my heart

And I saw you adorned your hand
I recall a conversation we'd had
But maybe lost is a good place to start
Take your aim, we were a shot in the dark

And tell me, baby

Do you remember staring at me from across the room
I saw your face and instantly I knew I wanted you
But when they dimmed the lights
I lost your sights
Now only pictures can remind me of those nights

Do you remember everyone knowing but us?
Felt like a school kid with a stupid little crush
If I could turn back time
I wouldn't be so blind
Now only pictures can remind me of those nights

You're living your best life
I knew that we would talk sometime
Now only ever on occasion
Your birthday makes that exception
Maybe we'll meet in another life
Maybe the right person, just the wrong time
I'll forever speak in your honour
'Cause not knowing you would be torture
Not knowing you is torture

So tell me, stranger

Do you remember staring at me from across the room
I saw your face and instantly I knew I wanted you
But when they dimmed the lights
I lost your sights
Now only pictures can remind me of those nights

Do you remember everyone knowing but us?
Felt like a school kid with a stupid little crush
If I could turn back time
I wouldn't be so blind
Now only pictures can remind me of those nights

You're living your best life
Maybe the right person, just the wrong time
Now only pictures can remind me of those nights
