[Verse 1]
Sometimes I think that I should
Should call you up
I don’t have a thing to say
I’d do it just for old times sake
Sometimes I think that I was
So bad at love
Dammit weren’t we both back then
Too young to know anything?
[Pre-Chorus]
But I hear Fireflies
I’m back in that room
Under covers doing what
We weren’t sure how to do
[Chorus]
Eighteen in your blue Toyota
In love but I never told ya
And looking back at all of that
I think it’s better
A couple back seat romantics
And man, we made it so dramatic
But looking back at all of that
I think it’s better
[Post-Chorus]
That we didn’t know, no we didn’t know
That we didn’t know better
That we didn’t know, no we didn’t know
That we didn't know bettеr
[Verse 2]
When I'm back home I think we
Wе might cross paths
Walking those same old streets
Where we’d talk about who we’d be
The backyard parties that
Littered our past
Where we figured out that
Beautiful things never last
[Chorus]
Eighteen in your blue Toyota
In love but I never told ya
And looking back at all of that
I think it’s better
A couple back seat romantics
And man, we made it so dramatic
But looking back at all of that
I think it’s better
[Post-Chorus]
That we didn’t know, no we didn’t know
That we didn’t know better
That we didn’t know, no we didn’t know
That we didn't know better
[Bridge]
Better that we’d see the end of that summer
And we’d make the most of that winter
(No, we didn't know)
We thought we’d never get through
(That we didn't know better)
Bad fights and I still remember that car ride
Isn’t it funny how hindsight
(No, we didn't know)
Adds a different point of view to
(That we didn't know better)
[Chorus]
Eighteen in your blue Toyota
In love but I never told ya (never told ya)
And looking back at all of that
I think it’s better
(That we didn't know better)
A couple back seat romantics
And man, we made it so dramatic
But looking back at all of that
I think it’s better
[Post-Chorus]
That we didn’t know, no we didn’t know
That we didn’t know better
That we didn’t know, no we didn’t know
That we didn't know better
[Outro]
That we didn’t know, no we didn’t know
That we didn't know better
That we didn’t know, no we didn’t know
That we didn't know better
