I met a boy when I was young
Didn't know he'd be the one I'd grow to love
Just 12 years old the world seemed big
If I had known what it would bring to me
I'd say thank you for the laughter and the light
You showed me how to feel alive
For the moments those late august nights
Underneath the stars you look into my eyes
That night on the dock I knew
This moment wouldn't last but I wanted it to
Be a memory that I could close my eyes and look back to
And always remember the august I fell for you
Sneaking out and driving late at night
With you I felt so alive
Running back to kiss you one more time
Having to accept that you're not mine
OOOOOOOOOOH
Thankful that our hearts were both aligned
Thank you for the memories that are mine
