We've been in the rain, we've been on the mountain, we've been 'round the fire
I kissed your dry lips, we jumped off the high cliffs and splashed down below, skin to skin, in the salty river
Read books to each other, read the mind of the other, flew a thousand jets
We laughed and we cried, at movies and real life, and our ridiculous bets. We pressed against back doors and wooden floors, and you never faked it
And frequently, we ignored our love, but we could never mistake it
We met on the front porch, fell in love on the phone, without the physical wreck
You gave me the necklace that used to hang around your mother's neck
We stood by the ocean, turned our hearts into one. We laid in bed all day. Heeey
We skipped on the sidewalk, skipped stones on the water. We skipped town
We've seen the sunrise with new eyes. We've seen the damage of gossip and true lies. We've seen the sun go down
Had passionate makeouts, and passionate freakouts. We built this world of our own

It was in the back of a taxi, when you told me you loved me, and that I wasn't alone
