I still remember September
When you said you were better
Better off alone than you would be together
You didn't say with who
So I assumed with whoever
We sat up on the branch and then the bench in the center
Of the city that I grew up
And so I got unsettled
Yeah, I sat still bitter
While you still sat better
I wish I met you six years ago
Before we were cynical
Before being happy meant we needed a miracle
Before we were adored
Torn down from our pinnacle
Before we got bored
I wish I knew you as the old me
Cuz I know I'd give you everything
I wish I knew you when you were 18
So I could hold you
When you're 23
