"i miss us" lyrics

We were young, I was just eighteen
But I thought I found the girl of my dreams
I was a fool for that but never let it hold me back
I never let that hold me back
I wrote songs about the way that she made me feel
Called it the way we used to love
And I still think about that all the time
'Cause there is no love when being so young, I know that now
But I grew up and I'm smarter now and even after all this time I wonder how you are
What you're doing, the person you came to be

Do you think about me?
'Cause I miss us
Yeah, I miss us

Five years later and I'm twenty-three
I can't believe I made it here, lil' momma would you look at me?
I'm still standing and stronger than ever
I know I'm surprised too
That was then, this is now and I just now got out of some shit that was basically marriage but without a ring
I never thought she'd leave
Would've had some babies, get a big old car
'Cause we gotta have more room when they start comin' out
But you're gone, now in Florida where you always wanted to be

Do you think about me?
'Cause I miss us
Yeah, I miss us
Yeah, I miss us
Oh I miss us
