Then (feat. Cruz Contreras)

There’s you then, there’s me and that’s us when we met

Old photographs of the past before our path was set

We were running buck wild, as in love as it gets

No it wouldn’t be easy but we didn’t know that yet

There’s you in the chapel and there’s me walking in

Lord you were so handsome, God I was so thin

Do you remember the party, we got high as the wind

But ending up drunk ain’t the way to begin

Some ships never come in

Right when you got laid off I got pregnant again

But I loved you and you loved me and we made it in the end

We just didn’t know that then

There’s us in the yard of our very first home

Just two crazy kids raising two of our own

Do you remember the sirens the night of the storm

We all damn near died when our roof was airborne

Some ships never come in

Nearly lost everything when that hurricane hit

But I loved you and you loved me and we made it in the end

We just didn’t know that then

And this is the Christmas I thought we might split

It happens sometimes when a couple forgets

But ya brought me these pictures to remind me again

Then fell on your knees telling me what I meant to you

Some ships never come in

Getting pretty damn close is as close as we been

I wanted to drive and you wanted to steer

You held a cold pillow, while you held a cold beer

But I loved you and you loved me and we made it in the end

Now I know that I would go back and do it all again

But I didn’t know that then

We just didn’t know that then
