'Cause you were never mine

You're back beneath the sun

I remember thinkin' I had you

Back when we were still changin' for the better

Wanting was enough

For me, it was enough
        FF
To live for the hope of it all

Canceled plans just in case you'd call
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
And say "Meet me behind the mall"

So much for summer love and saying "Us"

You weren't mine to lose, oh

"Meet me behind the mall"
