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?
