[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 extenuating 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, talking about us in past tense
Sometimes I catch myself, thinking 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 losing me
And I would know when I should go
Differentiate what's meant for me
From what I already know
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I catch myself, talking about us in past tense
Sometimes I catch myself, thinking 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
[Post-Chorus]
Guess you meant the love of your life so far
[Bridge]
Still think about 2 a.m., two of us
Lookin' up places in New York City
Find our favorite bagel spot, walk Central Park
And wastin' too much money
You finishin' both our coffees every morning like you always do
I was plannin', you were fantasizin'
[Chorus]
And 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 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
[Post-Chorus]
Guess you meant the love of your life so far
