Ten Years After

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ten years in the same old lane Shared cheap fries and a summer rain You knew my laugh before my last name Back porch secrets, little-town trains We wore the same dust, same jeans Fought over nothing, it seems Then life got loud, and we went quiet Two stubborn hearts on separate sides [Pre-Chorus] I missed you more than I said Kept your name in my head Took a long way back But I never lost that [Chorus] Ten years, still my girl You and me against the world Fell apart, then we came home Stronger now than we’ve ever known Ten years, still my girl You and me against the world (Ten years) back where we belong (Stronger now) where we were all along [Verse 2] I saw your truck by the feed store sign Hands on the wheel, you caught my eyes We both froze like we’d seen a ghost Then you smiled first, and I let go No big speech, no perfect line Just a hug that took its time All that hurt fell to the floor And we laughed like before [Pre-Chorus] I missed you more than I said Kept your name in my head Took a long way back But I never lost that [Chorus] Ten years, still my girl You and me against the world Fell apart, then we came home Stronger now than we’ve ever known Ten years, still my girl You and me against the world (Ten years) back where we belong (Stronger now) where we were all along [Bridge] We’re not the same as we were back then That’s what makes this better now We learned how to bend, learned how to mend And I’d choose you again somehow [Final Chorus] Ten years, still my girl You and me against the world Fell apart, then we came home Stronger now than we’ve ever known Ten years, still my girl You and me against the world (Ten years) back where we belong (Stronger now) where we were all along
