The summer before you
I thought love was
Shakespearean more
or less a painful
experience only ever
real if you're delirious
The summer before you
I let it take up
very little oxygen
not where I'd
rest my head
more like an ottoman
Never had someone
like you to treat me
like Solomon
But little did I know
that you would be
the one I confide in
learn how to try with
little did I know
It was you
before I ever decided
Oh-oh-oh little
did I know
Oh-oh-oh little
did I know
The summer before you
you can't spell "drama"
without consonants
and I admit I usually
was the cause of it
Now here we are
you've got me
changing all of it
slow me down
I want you too
It's different
when it comes to you
hey, hey
But little did I know
that you would be
the one I confide in
learn how to try with
little did I know
It was you
before I ever decided
Yeah little did I know
you would be the one
that would save me
learn how to change me
little did I know
Oh-ooh
just look at you
can you blame me?
Oh-oh-oh little
did I know
Oh-oh-oh little
did I know
The summer before you
I thought love was
Shakespearean more
or less a painful
experience only ever
real if you're delirious
But little did I know
you would be
the one I confide in
learn how to try with
little did I know
It was you
before I ever decided
Little did I know
you would be the one
that would save me
learn how to change me
little did I know
Oh-ooh
just look at you
can you blame me?
Oh-oh-oh little
did I know
Oh-oh-oh little
did I know
Oh-oh-oh little
did I know
that it could feel
like this
Oh-oh-oh little
every time I got you
on my lips babe hey
the summer before you
