Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We were ten and never bored
Skipping stones and slamming doors
You knew every part of me
Back when the world was small and sweet

We’d stay out past the porch light glow
Talk ’bout places we would go
I almost said it, swear I tried
But you moved away that Friday night

[Chorus]
And I never told you
Guess I thought you knew
You packed your things and left before
I got the nerve to say
I loved you
But you were gone that day

[Verse 2]
Five years down the line
I’m just killing time
In a café off the interstate
And there you are like it’s fate

Purple dress, your hair pulled back
I nearly had a heart attack
Took a minute just to breathe
You still look like home to me

[Chorus]
And I never told you
But God, I wanted to
You smiled like we’d never changed
And all I could say
Was “hey”
Yeah, just “hey”

[Bridge]
There’s a world where I said more
Where I showed up at your door
But this one’s quieter, I guess
Still stuck on that purple dress

[Chorus – Final]
‘Cause I never told you
But it’s still true
I’ve loved you since we were kids
Since scraped-up knees and secret skids
I wish I said it then
But maybe now’s not the end

[Outro]
So hey…
You look good today
