[Verse 1]
I remember the times
They were paper-thin
I could feel your heartbeat through your skin
Before we let the darkness in
Words held their meaning
You were the black sheep, but we were a team
We never fit in, no, to anyone's scene
Looking back, was it all just a dream?
Words held their meaning

[Pre-Chorus]
We never wasted time
Held our breath till there wasn't a sound
We can't turn back time to the days when you were around

[Chorus]
Back in the day when I first met you
(In the back seat of the Benz)
There was a day when I first kissed you
Was the beginning of the end
So many wasted sunsets
So many wasted nights
So many wasted moments
By the tracks of the Midland line

[Verse 2]
I remember the night that you let me in
You were a broken heart, I was lost within
You were falling apart, we were high on everything
A life without meaning
Hanging by a thread, we were seventeen
Could it be the end? You said you'd never leave
Running through my head are all the things you said to me
When you were my meaning

[Pre-Chorus]
We never wasted time
Held our breath till there wasn't a sound
We can't turn back time to the days when you were around
[Chorus]
Back in the day when I first met you
(In the back seat of the Benz)
There was a day when I first kissed you
Was the beginning of the end
So many wasted sunsets
So many wasted nights
So many wasted moments
By the tracks of the Midland line

[Bridge]
Now you're gone and it's been three years since yesterday
Now you're gone and I'm a mess

[Verse 3]
I remember the times
They were paper-thin
I could feel your heartbeat through your skin
Before we let the darkness in
Your words held their meaning

[Chorus]
Back in the day when I first met you
(In the back seat of the Benz)
There was a day when I first kissed you
Was the beginning of the end
So many wasted sunsets
So many wasted nights
So many wasted moments
By the tracks of the Midland line
