lyrics

When you turned twenty-one, I left my house late.
That’s just like me.
A little warm for March and a bit too far to walk,
But here I come.

We ran out of things to say by winter break of eighth grade.
Then we dated, then we didn’t.
Took a year for me to look at you.
But you, you waited.

When you turned twenty-one, we all did shots at the Auld Dub.
They were on fire, and so were you.
We were tired, but you pulled through.
You always manage to.
When you turned twenty-one your night did not go how you planned.
Your night did not go how you meant it to.
I was long gone.

I left your party early.
That’s just like me.

One last winter break, not quite twenty-two.
Took me nine months to hang out with you.
We collapsed and we confessed our numbers,
Yours one higher, that’s just fine.

You never saw that coming, you said.
You told me about your birthday, you said,
“I always figured it would be us two.”
And as the cold breaks, here is us two.
