We started this dance when I was just fourteen,
I think you may have been the most beautiful boy I'd ever seen...
I didn't know what I was getting into when I met you,
Because now I'm twenty-seven and that's still true.
Thirteen years, and I think I have loved you all along
I thought I'd gotten over you, but I'm pretty sure I was wrong--
Maybe I lulled myself into a false sense of security, maybe I forgot
Maybe I'm just so good at lying to myself, I even fooled my own gut.
Every time you float out of my life, I convince myself it's over
And every time you glide back in, my heart has to run for cover;
It's like this every time - when you're gone, my feelings run and hide
But when you come back, they surprise me and flee to your side.
Maybe it was your smile, and maybe it was your voice
Maybe it was just your sense of humour, but I didn't have a choice
You were too easy to love then, just like you're too easy to love now
I know I should get over you, but I honestly don't know how.
I know I'm not what you want, but I may be what you need
I'll never force that issue, though - I will always follow your lead;
But I don't think you will ever know just how far I'd go for you
Or that nobody else will ever be able to love you the way I do.
And it may be true that we started this dance when I was just fourteen,
But more than a decade later, you're still the most beautiful boy I've ever seen;
And I know that I should get over you, but in truth, I don't know how
Because you were too easy to love then, and you're too easy to love now.
