It was our first kiss, on a dare I had to take.
Two young kids in the yard, not knowing what was at stake.
Highlights and memories of us just hanging around,
I knew then, I never wanted your smile upside down.
Often I'd think about you and hope you were doing great.
Wrote a song for you called can't wait for eight.
That was way back when. When we didn't have a clue, way back when we wanted it to be just me and you. Back when we would laugh and joke and play til the sun went down. Yeah that was us, way back when.
Now Some years had gone by and I found a picture you sent to me.
My heart skipped a beat, when I wondered how you must be.
Found out you were in South Texas, down by the beach,
I pulled into the parking lot, boots and jeans looking way outta place.
Butterflies filled my body, as saw your long blonde hair, and a big smile on your face.
That was way back when. When we didn't have a clue, way back when we were excited that it was just us two. We drank, an laughed and joked til the sun went down. Left our mark all over that town. Yeah that was us, way back when.
Couple years later here we are again,
Up all night talking not wanting it to end.
Looking forward to seeing those beautiful eyes and smile on your face.
And my heart will skip a beat, cause baby I'll be in the right place.
With you in my arms, I'll just hold you for a while.
I guess you can say, I'm still that same ol boy
Trying to see that smile….
This is us right here and now. Now we still don't have a clue. Just all excited that it could be us two. We talk an laugh and dream til the sun goes down. All started with a little kiss, way back when. When we didn't have a clue. Way back when it was just me and you. And we laughed an smiled til the sun went down. Yeah that was us, way back when.
Yeah that was us, way back when.
