I was thinking 'bout us just the other day
A little nostalgia got me carried away
I was thinking, thinking about us
Thinking back to when we were 17
We were just two kids skating on icy streets
We were laughing, smiling, and that was enough
And I'd like to thank you for the memories
For helping me find the real me
I'm better, better because of you
And I know that we went our separate ways
But the good parts, they remain
I'm better, better than I was before
I'm better, better that's for sure
I went to college, you remained in town
It always seemed like we could stick this out
But the future, the future is hard to know
Because life can throw curves, see a whole new world
We let it go and that sure hurt
I was thinking, I was thinking about me and you
And I'd like to thank you for the memories
For helping me find the real me
I'm better, better because of you
And I know that we went our separate ways
But the good parts, they remain
I'm better, better than I was before
I'm better, better that's for sure
So if you ever seem wandering around
I hope you'll ask me how I'm doing now
And I'll tell you, I'll you that I'm good
And I hope that you can say the same
Funny when things end, other things take shape
I hope you're better, better because of me
'Cause I'm better, I'm better because of you
And I'd like to thank you for the memories
For helping me find the real me
I'm better, better because of you
And I know that we went our separate ways
But the good parts, they remain
I'm better, better than I was before
I'm better, better that's for sure
I was thinking 'bout us just the other day
A little nostalgia got me carried away
Yeah I'm better, better than I was before
I'm better, I'm better that's for sure
