[Verse 1]
Throw away the past like paper plates
Waste moons, and suns, and birthdays
I wish I could go back
And celebrate you
How'd all this time go ticking by?
I prayed a million prayers, and asked why?
Why'd it take so long
For me to find you

[Chorus]
I wish I would've met ya sooner
I wish I would've known ya dad
I know I get to have ya future
But I wish could've had your past
I'll never get to be your first time
But please, I need to be your last
I know you loved her before me
But why'd you have to go and do that?

[Post-Chorus]
I wish I would've met ya sooner
Ah-ah, a-ah
I wish I would've met ya sooner
Ah-ah, a-ah
[Verse 2]
How'd shе let you go? Thank God she did
All the yеars you had to fake it
She didn't even know
She wasted you

[Chorus]
I wish I would've met ya sooner
I wish I would've known ya dad
I know I get to have ya future
But I wish could've had your past
I'll never get to be your first time
But please, I need to be your last
I know you loved her before me
But why'd you have to go and do that?

[Post-Chorus]
I wish I would've met ya sooner
Ah-ah, a-ah
I wish I would've met ya sooner
Ah-ah, a-ah

[Bridge]
I would've loved you in any vase
I would've loved you at any age
I could never get enough days
With you
[Chorus]
I wish I would've met ya sooner
I wish I would've known ya dad
I know I get to have ya future
But I wish could've had your past
I'll never get to be your first time
But please, I need to be your last
I know you loved her before me
But why'd you have to go and do that?

[Post-Chorus]
I wish I would've met ya sooner
Ah-ah, a-ah
I wish I would've met ya sooner
Ah-ah, a-ah
