Beginners

I used to memorize you We'd stay in bed all day I used to lose my mind When you whispered my name Used to get lost in the songs that I used to sing Used to get caught in the rush Used to burn so bright Used to spend the night And used to never get enough We used to laugh so easy We used to give 'em hell You end up killing all the best parts, baby Trying to protect yourself Used to get lost in the songs that I used to sing Used to get caught in the rush I used to burn so bright Used to fill the sky And used to never get enough Before the world slammed us shut Before we knew way too much Didn't worry about what we didn't understand Swam out so far didn't see land Before the brain got involved When it was heart and that's all Close your eyes and try to remember When we were beginners It's all imagination Most things are just pretend Meet me in San Francisco We can dream it up again Used to get lost in the songs that I used to sing Used to get caught in the rush Used to burn so bright Used to fill the sky I used to never get enough Before the world slammed us shut Before we knew way too much We didn't worry about what we didn't understand Swam out so far didn't see land Before the brain got involved When it was heart and that's all Close your eyes and try to remember When we were beginners
