[Verse 1]
Girl, on paper, you and me were a perfect lit match
Like a spark in the dark that we couldn't make last
But it wasn't 'cause we didn't try
Like throwin' water on a wildfire
[Verse 2]
We were off, we were on, you were here when I was gone
Yeah, we had a lotta rights, but we still got it wrong
Guess there wasn't nothin' we could do
But when I think about me and you
We were just
[Chorus]
Too young, too fast, too wild and free
To pay attention to the "What if it was meant to bе?"
Taste of heaven was a hеll of a ride
I'd be lyin' if I didn't say I
Get to wonderin' if you wonder what coulda been
If we'da finished what we started on way back when
If we'da met now, would've it've been right?
Maybe we were just ahead, ahead of our time
[Verse 3]
It's been years since we talked, since you told me never change
And I guess my heart listened 'cause it still feels the same
Way it did that night we walked away
Wish I could hit the ground runnin' back to yesterday
When we were
[Chorus]
Too young, too fast, too wild and free
To pay attention to the "What if it was meant to be?"
Taste of heaven was a hell of a ride
I'd be lyin' if I didn't say I
Get to wonderin' if you wonder what coulda been
If we'da finished what we started on way back when
If we'da met now, would've it've been right?
Maybe we were just ahead, ahead of our time
Ahead of our time
[Bridge]
The kind of love you've never seen before
I guess the world wasn't ready for
Girl, we were
[Chorus]
Too young, too fast, too wild and free
To pay attention to the "What if it was meant to be?"
Taste of heaven was a hell of a ride
I'd be lyin' if I didn't say I
Get to wonderin' if you wonder what coulda been
If we'da finished what we started on way back when
If we'da met now, would've it've been right?
Maybe we were just ahead, ahead of our time
Ahead of our time
Yeah, ahead of our time, yeah
Baby, we were just ahead, ahead of our time
