I was nine years old
When I pulled your hair and broke your China doll
I had no clue
What those stomach butterflies would have me do

Years gone by
Always wondering what I'm really looking for
Now, here I am
Back knocking at your door

Now I know
We were kids and you were living down the road
Playing hide and seek and fought with sticks and stones
Feels like yesterday, but was so long ago

Now I know
I didn't see it then, but now your colors show
Was too young and dumb, but guess we all can grow
And this time around I'll never let you go
Now I know

Twelve years old
When I tried to kiss you heading home from school
Oh, I cried that day
When you told me that you had to move away

Years went by
Hoping that someday I'd see your face
And, here I am
Back at your place, hmm

Now I know
We were kids and you were living down the road
Playing hide and seek and fought with sticks and stones
Feels like yesterday, but was so long ago

Now I know
I didn't see it then, but now your colors show
Was too young and dumb, but guess we all can grow
And this time around I'll never let you go

Now I see in your eyes, what's missing in me
The piece of the puzzle was always there in front of me

Now you hold my heart
And that feels like home
My peace and my shelter, it's where I have always belonged

We were kids and you were living down the road
Didn't see it then but now your colors show
And this time around I'll never let you go
