Lyrics
It all started one day in May Trying on our caps and gowns It suddenly hit me like a 50 pound weight We would both be leavin town We'd been best friends since the second grade But time was countin' down Said It feels like I'm loosing you forever So let's be together now That summer after graduation It was more than just infatuation Even now I still believe we were in love Drove around all night just to be together No place to go, but it didn't matter The back seat of the car was good enough Thought no time or space could ever keep us parted That's how it all started At first the letters came every day I wrote back every night Soon I was just getting in the way Of your new friends and life When I went to visit you out at school We both knew it was the end At the Greyhound there was nothing left to say But I'll never feel that way again That summer after graduation It was more than just infatuation Even now I still believe we were in love Young and tan down by the shore Trying everything and still wanting more How could we know goodbye would be so tough Never crossed our minds to keep our hearts guarded That's how it all started Now love has been a bumpy road for me Now I don't let go, I don't give in We were prob'ly never meant to be Oh but wasn't it easy back then That summer after graduation It was more than just infatuation Even now I still believe we were in love Old enough to really give it all To young to see or fear the fall Before the real world made us hard and tough I wanna love like I've never been brokenhearted That's how it all started It all started one day in May Trying on our caps and gowns
