He was working at the record shop
I would kiss him in the parking lot
Tasting like cigarettes and soda pop
17

He would tell me I was beautiful
Sneaking in the neighbour's swimming pool
Yeah, he told me how to break the rules
17

But hey, this isn't long gone
When I hear the song
It takes me back...

We were on top of the world
Back when I was your girl
We were living so wild and free
Acting stupid for fun
All we needed was some love
That's the way its supposed to be
17

Stealing beers out of the trailer park
Flicking lighters just to fight the dark
Favorite place was sitting in his car
17

Lay a blanket on the rooftop
That time I knew I wanted me to stop
It was so cold but we kept it hot
17

But hey, this isn't long gone
When I hear the song
It takes me back...

When you're falling, you're crashing
When your fire has turned to ashes
When you're screaming, your heart is bleeding
When you're feeling like there's no reason
I won't let you go
No I, I won't let you go

'Cause when you're all alone and it's cold and there's no one to hold
When you're feeling lost, and there's nowhere, there's nowhere to go
When you're feeling sad, don't forget you can reach for my hand
When you're feeling down just remember I won't let you go
I won't let you go (I won't let you go)
I won't let you go
I won't let you go (I won't let you go)

When you're torn down, when you're messed up
Don't you give in, no don't you give up
When you're drowning, and you're fading
Always know that I'm always waiting
And I, I won't let you go
No, I won't let you go

'Cause when you're all alone and it's cold and there's no one to hold

[Verse 1:]
It seeing too much of you lately
And you're starting to get on my nerves
This is exactly what happened last time
And it's not what we deserve
It's a waste of my time lately
And I'm running out of words

[Pre-Chorus:]
If it's really meant to be
Then you can find a way to see

[Chorus:]
That maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love.
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love

Love, love, love

[Verse 2:]
It's really great to be with you
This is how I could spend my life
But I'm capable of taking care of myself
So if you fuck this up then go take a hike
It's a waste of my time shaking
I'm not going out to search

[Pre-Chorus:]
If it's really meant to be
