Eight Years Old Lyrics

Eight Years Old lyrics

[from Something To Remember Me By]
Eight years old
I was in love with a
girl
Eight years old
My only love meant the world
We'd hang
out
Play catch and kiss at lunch time
I was young she was something to
call mine
I'd be lying if I said I was not
Devastated and broken when
she
Opened my hand slid hers in
Then walked away
It was bad
The
only eight year old kid suicidal
In the school
Convinced I was down to
survival
Melodramatic in my usual way
I was sure that the whole world
would end
When the girl left that day
And it did
Seventeen years
old
Riding home on the bus
Seventeen
Looking for someone to
trust
The seat next to me
Sits down a girl I once loved
She looks at
me
And then I remember her touch
She smiles
Then touches my
knee
All of the sudden I'm eight years old not seventeen
Again
Here's
this girl
I was in love, I was eight
Almost a decade later
A decade
too late
So she smiles
Asks me, "So how you been?"
Then gives me her
number to go out sometime this weekend
My head is spinning it's all too
surreal
Deja vu doesn't begin to describe how I feel
So I
laugh
There's nothing to say
Maybe everything in my life's gonna end up
this way
