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
Treat me like Solomon
But little did I know
You would be the one I'd confide in
Learn how to try with
Little did I know
It was you before I ever decided
Little did I know
Little did I know
The summer before you
You can't spell drama without consonance
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 to
It's different when it comes to you
But little did I know
You would be the one I'd 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
Just look at you
Can you blame me
Little did I know
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'd 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
Just look at you
Can you blame me
Little did I know
Little did I know
Little did I know
That it could feel like this
Little every time
I got you on my lips
The summer before you
