1, 2, 3
A thousand times a day
I tell you I love the way you sing
Even though it makes me cry
It's my favorite time to be alive
And all I know is
I feel lost without you
I miss you's not enough
I know the story's old
It's been told a million times before
But to tell it feels so good
It reminds me that not all I do is right
And all I know
Is I feel so lost
Without you
Now I remember the day
I was a kid in 8th grade
Your friend tapped me on my shoulder
And asked if I would
Be your boyfriend
Oh yeah, we were intense then
We would walk and hold hands
You were taller than me
Then I got a friend to tell you
That I didn't wanna be anymore
Oh no, not anymore
So then for three more years
We would never talk again
And I'm not gonna lie though
I couldn't stop thinking about you
Then your best friends came over
And I got them to call you
To see if you wanted
To watch the band play Dude Ranch
I knew that that would impress you
So then we got to talking
And before we knew it
We were always on the phone
Talking until 4 in the morning
Yeah, there was only one problem
Now I never knew your man
Never talked to him
And still until this day
I feel bad for it
But I knew that I loved you
And I knew that I had to do something
I knew that I had to do something
I knew that I had to do something
So I waited till the day
You broke up with him
We had a barbecue at our friend Jim's
Then we strolled to the backyard
And that's where we shared our first kiss
Then you watched the band play
With all your friends
And we played our set of
Melancholin and Choking Victim
I guess that didn't impress you
Then an hour later
Between you and your friends
You told me that
You didn't wanna be anymore
Oh no, not anymore
But then a while later
We got back together
And we told each other
We would be forever
And since that day
We've had our share of problems
And now we know that
It's hard but better together
It's hard but better together
Oh yeah, it's better together
Oh yeah, it's better together
Oh yeah, it's better together
So now we have a house
So now we have a house
And a couple pets
We're even getting married
Nine years after it
And every time we talk about it
And every time I see you
I still hear trumpets
I still hear trumpets
And every time I see you
I still hear trumpets
And every time I see you
I still hear trumpets
