lyrics

I still remember our first date
I was so nervous my hands had started to shake
As we walked outside in the sun that day
I knew with you, I'd won and I felt safe

Remember the time that we went to the beach?
Ate sandwiches filled with sand and burnt our feet
And in the water that day we were free
I never felt so okay being me

Now you're an exit on the highway
I keep passing up
I try to throw my brakes
But I can't slow down fast enough
I keep checking my rearview
I'm looking for a way to turn around
But I don't see well in the dark
And the sun is going down

You told me you loved me on a Sunday afternoon
Played the piano and sang me a pretty tune
I swear I knew right then that it was you
And you just smiled and I knew that you felt it too

Like a bad movie, I knew how it would end
Told me that you still want to be my friend
But i'm never good at saying what I mean
You asked me for my thoughts and I couldn't speak

Now you're an exit on the highway
I keep passing up
I try to throw my brakes
But I can't slow down fast enough
I keep checking my rearview
I'm looking for a way to turn around
But I don't see well in the dark
And the sun is going down
