If I knew you, when you were only six
I would have held your hand, and just for kicks
We would run around in circles, like two crazy best friends
And only stop when our mothers sent
Someone to look for us, coz it's getting dark
Too late for little kids to be out in the park
If I knew you, when you were thirteen
I would have been your first crush, in the school social scene
We would ignore each other all day long
And keep on wondering, did we say something wrong?
But everyday, I would have walked you back home
Acting all cool, with my blue pocket comb
If I knew you, when you were twenty three
I would have knocked some sense and asked you to choose me
We would sit by the sea, and kiss in the rain
And save each other from a whole bunch of pain
Our weekends would have been spent at roadside bars
Staying up all night, searching for stars
When I finally got to know you, you were twenty eight
And I do feel sometimes why'd it have to be so late
There's so many things we missed, so much catching up to do
So many unnecessary scars that need healing too
But I'm really happy we met... as they say, better late than never
Now we have the rest of our lives, to grow old together
