I stumbled through visions, revealed my condition    As thoroughly taken with you   Your blue eyes shot through me, I changed irrevocably   The days of tomcatting were through   15 years old, what did I know?   I've never been one for a fight   I needed you then and every day since like a flower is needing sunlight      I guess that I gave it up then   This self that alludes weaker men   What was my young heart to do?   A girlfriend as pretty as you      There in my early twenties, I spent most of it running   But I never once missed my home   You were right there beside me, no idea who I would be   And I never once felt alone   Then somewhere all this bitterness got tougher to dismiss   And I started thinking a lot   There has got to be more to life, then simply man and wife   At least back then that's what I thought      I guess that you gave it up then   Yourself, for the sake of this man   How could your young heart agree?   A boyfriend as angry as me      I was gonna be something that I saw on TV   You were more like a warm spring that weathered the winter of me      I'm not that much older, there's so much that I still don't know   And nothing to blame but this love   I feel no more a man then I did at that high school dance   But time doesn't wait for no one   As for who we became, I still play in this band   You are a teacher at school   And if this is what living is, I feel like an idiot   For blaming my love like a fool      I guess that we gave it up then   The truth is there are no regrets   What was my young heart to do?   A girlfriend as pretty as you
