YOU HAD TO BE THERE

(Intro)

Nah…

You had to be there.

⸻

(Verse 1)

Started with a random text,

“Pull up if you’re still awake.”

Didn’t know by 2 a.m.

We’d have stories no one could fake.

Wrong turn turned into the right one,

Nobody even cared.

Every time somebody asks…

I just laugh and stare.

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

How do you explain

Something that changed you

In one night?

⸻

(Chorus)

You had to be there.

You wouldn’t believe me.

Sun came up

Before we ever got sleepy.

You had to be there.

Pictures don’t compare.

Everybody wants the story…

Man…

You had to be there.

⸻

(Verse 2)

Somebody dancing on the hood,

Somebody singing way off-key.

Whole damn night was one mistake

That turned into a memory.

Nobody famous.

Nothing planned.

Just a couple friends

Trying to make the night last.

⸻

(Bridge)

It’s funny how

The best nights

Never start

With a plan.

⸻

(Final Chorus)

You had to be there.

Words ain’t enough.

I could tell you everything…

Still wouldn’t be the same.

You had to be there.

Wish I could take you back.

But some moments only happen once…

And that’s what makes ’em last.

⸻

(Outro)

If you know…

You know.

If you don’t…

You had to be there.
