Verse 1

We knew it all from a little thing

It was everything in our first minute

And it took us to another place

Yeah another place and we fell in it

Pre-chorus 1

Guitar 2: Palm-muted)

How dare you not remember

 How dare you walk away

Verse 2

We adored every little thing

Every little thing would leave us breathless

Every dawn spelled another day

And in another day we weren't so restless

Pre-chorus 2

Guitar 2: Palm-muted)

How dare you not remember

 How dare you walk away

Chorus

 And I wanted you so much

 Just like I do right now

 I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about

 I wanted it to last

 I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way

Verse 3

We walked around in a heavy haze

We were stuck in days of so much warring

We got lost in a tricky maze

Yeah a tricky maze that was so scarring

Pre-chorus 3

Guitar 2: Palm-muted)

How come you can't remember

 How dare you walk away

Verse 4

Then you start to add the little things

Add the little things and trip the mighty

Now we got a little bitter thing

A little bitter thing that grew like ivy

Pre-chorus 4

Guitar 2: Palm-muted)

And how dare you not remember

 How dare you walk away

Chorus

 And I wanted you so much

 Just like I do right now

 I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about

 I wanted it to last

 I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way

Bridge

 And apathy grows quietly where rapture used to fly

 And promises and certainty have left love here to die

 Won't you stay and don't let this one fall away

Outro chorus

 And I wanted you so much

 Just like I do right now

 I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about

 I wanted it to last

 I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way

 And I wanted you so much

 Just like I do right now

 I wanted us to be the one the poets write their books about

 I wanted it to last

 I wanted to grow old, but life got in the way

Yeah well life got in the way
