Текст песни: Before We Knew Who We Were + перевод

I couldn’t watch you walk away

It hurt too much to see you crying

I thought we’d make this happen someday

But we didn’t work

Though we were closer than friends

We knew our plans would come between us

You made me a better man

Now every time

I picture you in my mind

I remember.

That was you and I, running on the wind

Laughing up a storm, our love was being born

We would talk for hours, like there was no time

That was you and I, that was you and I

Before we knew who we were

II

If you wonder why I never write

It’s cause I still have feelings for you

and I hear you’re with a great guy

but he better see

just how lucky he must be to have found you

and if things ever change

You’ll know exactly where to find me

at the pier where we first kissed

and I’ll run to you

Catch you in my arms, Like I used to

That was you and I, running on the wind

laughing up a storm, our love was being born

We would talk for hours, like there was no time

that was you and I, that was you and I

Before we knew who we were

Bridge

I could be the dad, always on the go

you can be the perfect housewife every man’s ever hoped for

briefcase, fresh bread, black coffee, get me fed

you can raise the kids, blow a kiss through the screen door

but changing from the start, we would fall apart,

turning into the strangers we knew we always really were

II

That was you and I, running on the wind

laughing up a storm, our love was being born

We would talk for hours, like there was no time

that was you and I, that was you and I

Before we knew who we were

That was you and I, running different ways

crying up a storm, our love was slowly torn

we would plan our lives like the fools we were

that was you and I, that was you and I

Before we knew who we were

I wish you the best, I trully do

For all that you taught me

I need to thank you

Thank you for the good times

thank you for the bad

you’ve given me some of the best days

I’ve ever had
