Oh our futures were written with crayons in coloring books
C G
It was misspelled and outside the lines and we loved how it looked
G Bm
Like the crooked hem of your favorite childhood dress
C G
And the holes in my jeans from years of carelessness
C Em
I know since we've grown we ache for those memories
C G Bm G
Honestly nothing's even compared to you next to me next to me
G Bm
When the words came to you for the first time you knew you were hooked
C G
And the pride that you felt at the last page of your first book
G Bm
And the bravery I forced when I sang to an audience of three
C G
Well it took a million wrong notes just to find a single melody and key
C Em
I know since we've grown we plea for clarity
C G Bm
Honestly nothing's ever made sense til you were next to me next to me
C Am G Bm
If time is money then I'll spend it all for you
C Am G Bm
I will buy you flowers with the minutes we outgrew
C Am G Bm
I'll turn hours into gardens planted just for us to take
C Am G
I'll be reckless with my days building castles in your name
C Em
Since we've grown we long for concrete things
C G Bm
Honestly nothing's felt so sure than when you were next to me next to me
G Bm C G
G Bm
So lets cut down the red tape and gather up the pieces of our youth
C
Cause there's nothing in this world we can't fix with some scissors and glue
