Lyrics

The first time I met her, we were hanging out in town.
I was floored by her sweet smile. Got her number, wrote it down.
But my first love ended nearly tearing me in two.
She called me from her dorm and told me we were through.

I cried and tried to understand why it didn't last.
How I'd lost her to some college dude who waltzed her home from class.
Oh the years went by, the tears all dried, but that love didn't end.
I got a heart that screams to be back in her dreams again.

CHORUS
Cause something's still there like an ember in the ash
Fanning it just might ignite an ol flame from my past.
So I send her these messages, hoping that I can....
Take that X back from my Ex-girlfriend.

I've always wondered if she'd found happiness.
Till I looked her up on line and made a friends request.
I knocked. She answered. Old feelings raced in
Chasing memories of her from way back then.

CHORUS
Cause something's still there like an ember in the ash
Fanning it just might ignite an ol flame from my past.
So I send her these messages, hoping that I can....
Take that X back from my Ex-girlfriend.

BRIDGE
She got married, but things didn't work out.
She's single now so I can't hesitate.
I have to tell her how I still love her.
And pray she doesn't send me away.

CHORUS
Cause something's still there like an ember in the ash
Fanning it just might ignite an ol flame from my past.
So I send her these messages, hoping that I can....
Take that X back from my Ex-girlfriend.
Take that X back from my EX-girlfriend
Been hoping that I can...
