[Intro]
*Twelve years old…*
*Didn’t know what forever was*
*But somehow… we touched it*
[Verse]
I remember the night I had to say goodbye
You were holding my shirt, trying not to cry
I said I’d come back, you said you’d wait
Two kids promising things that were bigger than fate
I left town with your name tucked in my chest
Every road that I took felt just like a test
You stayed back at the house learning to be strong
I learned how to miss you my whole way along
[Pre-Chours/Hook]
We grew up separate
But we grew the same
Still saying each other’s name
Through all our pain
[Chorus/Hook]
We were twelve years old, hands shaking when we kissed
Didn’t know love yet, but we knew we’d miss this
I had to leave, begged you come, but you couldn’t go
So we cried on the phone saying “please don’t let me go”
We tried moving on, but it never felt right
Every few years somehow we’d cross paths in life
No matter the miles, no matter the time
My heart always found you…
Every time
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
I tried to love someone who was not you
But every single "I love you" felt halfway true
You told me you tried too, heard your voice
Like we were both trapped in a difficult choice
Then years would pass, then you would show up
Same eyes, more scars, filling up my heart's cup
One look and the past would all rush in
Like we never stopped, just pressed pause back then
[Chorus/Hook]
We were twelve years old, hands shaking when we kissed
Didn’t know love yet, but we knew we’d miss this
I had to leave, begged you come, but you couldn’t go
So we cried on the phone saying “please don’t let me go”
We tried moving on, but it never felt right
Every few years somehow we’d cross paths in life
No matter the miles, no matter the time
My heart always found you…
Every time
[Solo]
[Bridge]
Maybe we had to break to survive
Maybe distance taught us how deep this was inside
If love’s a thread that never breaks
Ours stretched across time and space
[Chorus/Hook]
We were twelve years old, hands shaking when we kissed
Didn’t know love yet, but we knew we’d miss this
I had to leave, begged you come, but you couldn’t go
So we cried on the phone saying “please don’t let me go”
We tried moving on, but it never felt right
Every few years somehow we’d cross paths in life
No matter the miles, no matter the time
My heart always found you…
Every time
[Outro]
"If this is our moment*
"I won’t run away*
"I’ve already lost you too many days"
"From kids in love to hearts grown true"
"I crossed the world…"
"and it led me back to you"
