[Verse 1]
Running from the suburbs
Skipping heartbeats
Living by our own front teeth
Put my faith into a number
And push the odds aside
We swore we'd make it out alive
But you lied
An old dream still haunts me
A time machine
[Chorus]
I knew you then
Ripped jeans in a playground of cement
I knew you then
Gold rings, but you never could commit
[Verse 2]
I heard you're living somewhere upstate with a new life
Is that really what you had in mind?
But I don't wanna let go, and watch it all unfold
I couldn't if I even tried, and I tried
You left me stuck sixteen
Without a time machine
[Chorus - Extended]
I knew you then
Ripped jeans in a playground of cement
I knew you then
Gold rings, but you never could commit
I knew you then, I knew you then
[Bridge]
I knew you then, I knew you then
[Chorus - Extended]
I knew you then
Ripped jeans in a playground of cement
I knew you then
Gold rings, but you never could commit
I knew you then, I knew you then
