[Verse 1]
If I met you at twenty-three
You wouldn't be so scared of learnin' to love yourself
At the same time you love me
And you'd still say all the right things
But by then you'd mean them
If I met you at twenty-three
There wouldn't be no extenuatin' circumstances
Complicatin' things
And maybe you'd know how to think about more than what you need
If I met you at twenty-three

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I catch myself talkin' about us in past tense
Sometimes I catch myself thinkin' how this inevitably ends

[Chorus]
When you told me you'd never lеave
That's what I believеd
I didn't second guess it, and that's on me
When you called me the love of your life
I took that shit hard
Guess you meant the love of your life, so far

[Verse 2]
If I met you at twenty-three
I wouldn't be okay with just how comfortable you are with losin' me
And I wouldn't know when I should go
Differentiate what's meant from me
From what I already know
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I catch myself talkin' about us in past tense
Sometimes I catch myself thinkin' how this inevitably ends

[Chorus]
When you told me you'd never leave
That's what I believed
I didn't second guess it, and that's on me
When you called me the love of your life
I took that shit hard
Guess you meant the love of your life, so far
Guess you meant the love of your life, so far

[Bridge]
So think about 2 AM, two of us
Lookin' at places in New York City
Find our favorite bagel spot, walk Central Park
And wastin' too much money
You'd finish both our coffees every morning, like you always do
I was plannin', you were fantasizin'

[Chorus]
When you told me, you'd never leave
That's what I believed
I didn't second guess it, and that's on me
When you called me the love of your life
I took that shit hard
Guess you meant the love of your life, so far
And when you told me, you'd never leave
That's what I believed
I didn't second guess it, and that's on me
And when you called me the love of your life
I took that shit hard
Guess you meant the love of your life, so far
[Outro]
Guess you meant the love of your life, so far
