Nineteen

(Do you remember?) Picture-perfect, silver screen Walk on over, talk to me Brightest smile I'd ever seen You said, "Trust in me, I'll hold you up Be the light inside your heart Help you dance within the dark" I remember all too well How could I ever forget How quickly I fell Do you remember my blue dress, hot mess Coffee and the cigarettes The late calls, bar crawls Drinking so that we forget The cold nights, streetlights Running from responsibilities Do you remember 19? Empty streets, a silver sky All I saw was you that night Hooked on your electric eyes You said, "Trust in me, I'll hold you up Be the light inside your heart Help you dance within the dark" I remember all too well How could I ever forget How quickly I fell Do you remember my blue dress, hot mess Coffee and the cigarettes The late calls, bar crawls Drinking so that we forget The cold nights, streetlights Running from responsibilities Do you remember all the mistakes, disgrace Smiling at the walk of shame The little lies, big fights Falling back to "you and I" Our big dreams, white sheets When you said you only wanted me Do you remember 19? Loving young is such a waste Hearts are bruised, mistakes are made But I would do it all the same Do you remember my blue dress, hot mess Coffee and the cigarettes Late calls, bar crawls Drinking so that we forget The cold nights, streetlights Running from responsibilities Do you remember all the mistakes, disgrace Smiling at the walk of shame The little lies, big fights Falling back to "you and I" Our big dreams, white sheets When you said you only wanted me Do you remember 19?
