Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What if I stayed in that town?
Blue backpack, scraped-up knees
You by the swings, I by the fence
Spelling our names in the breeze
What if my dad never packed us up?
What if that road stayed small?
You knew the parts I hid in class
You knew me, all in all
[Pre-Chorus]
We were so young, but it felt like truth
Two little hearts on the playground roots
If I could turn back every last page
I’d keep your hand in the same old place
[Chorus]
What if we grew up side by side?
What if you were still mine?
First crush, first kiss, first little spark
We could’ve learned the world together
What if we grew up side by side?
What if you were still mine?
You knew all of me
You knew all of me
[Verse 2]
Picture me in your letterman sleeve
You with your hair tied back
Walking home through a paper sky
No maps, no leaving that map
You were the girl who knew my worst
The girl who laughed it through
If every move had stayed undone
Maybe I’d still be with you
[Pre-Chorus]
We were so young, but it felt like truth
Two little hearts on the playground roots
If I could turn back every last page
I’d keep your hand in the same old place
[Chorus]
What if we grew up side by side?
What if you were still mine?
First crush, first kiss, first little spark
We could’ve learned the world together
What if we grew up side by side?
What if you were still mine?
You knew all of me
You knew all of me
[Bridge]
I don't need forever in a frame
Just one more day in that name
One more lunchbox, one more ring
One more chance to be your thing
[Final Chorus]
What if we grew up side by side?
What if you were still mine?
First crush, first kiss, first little spark
We could’ve learned the world together
What if we grew up side by side?
What if you were still mine?
You knew all of me
You knew all of me
