Epilogue (Thank God It Was You)

Saw you creeping on my Instagram
Sweet of you to wonder how I am
Took me back to when we were kids
And I dare to remember this

Back when I thought I'd find
The perfect definition for love with some time

You were the kid in the band at school
And suddenly all my friends knew you
Walking to the lake in the mud
Everyone stealing phones, tryna set us up

Took a blind leap and I landed somewhere soft
Me and my Freudian slip fell in love

All the sugar highs, the movie nights
All the drama we never had
All the awkward photos, the cringey poems
All the people who thought it would last
Never the right one, but always a gentleman
Every time you set the bar
(Woohoo) Thank God it was you

Didn't know you were a stranger
'Til you were in my arms
End of April, or was it the start of May?
Everything started going wrong

I said, "I love you even when I don’t like you"
What a beautiful excuse until I barely liked you anymore

All the sugar highs, the movie nights
All the drama we never had
All the awkward photos, the cringey poems
All the people who thought it would last
Never the right one, but always a gentleman
Every time you set the bar
(Woohoo) Thank God it was you

I was weaving through the loopholes trying to call it love
But there's no cure for a fading crush
So in the February cold right after lunch
I took you outside and crushed your heart
And you almost cried and I think we hugged
And by Monday you were all good
And we shed our armor and the battlefield bled
When we shook hands like it was fall again

And that made me want to pick a fight
More than any time when you were mine

Romance felt like a dress
That looked better on everyone else
And for a while I would laugh at love
But I was bitter not skeptical

And now the story ended years ago
Sometimes the epilogue is the best part though
