Lyrics

Just A Year

She was just a girl with a strong ambition
Knew one thing she wanted and nothing else
He was just another boy making too many promises

And she didn't want to listen when she heard he had better plans
He couldn't keep holding on with one hand

Who knew time could pass by so fast?
Just a year ago we were on the phone thinking
Man I want to see you again
Time can change just about everything
How come it felt so perfect?
I miss what we had, just a year ago

He was a mistake she wished she could say
But he was more than that that smile those eyes
Wish he would have stayed
Just a normal boy people would say
But she knew he'd grow up to be something great one day

Who knew time could pass by so fast
Just a year ago we were sneaking looks between class
Who knew time could change just about everything?
How come it felt so perfect?
I miss what we had just a year ago


It's been forever since I saw you last
I knew you'd grow up to be something great
But still I'm thinking man I really wish those days
Who knew time could pass by so fast
Just a year ago we were on the phone thinking man I want to see you again
Time can change just about everything
How come it felt so perfect?
I really miss what we had
Who knew time could pass by so fast?...
Just a year ago we were sneaking looks between class
Who knew time could change just about everything?
I thought that it was perfect
I miss what we had just a year ago
