[Em7]When we kiss it hit me with that warning
[Cadd9]Such a rush what a crush wed only been gone
Sneaking out in any kind of weather
Screaming out well always be together
looking back all we ever wanted
was a crush with some fun baby we were so young

Always made me better when we were together stronger when I had u close
Was the beauty in the window princess of the shadows I remember more
so much time since those days that passed us by I remember

[Chorus]
