In a Buzzfeed interview, Paul inadvertently revealed that the song...
[Verse 1]
We were sixteen but I had
Known you since second grade
We were best friends but I had
Wanted you in different ways
We would pass notes in science
And I would end 'em with a heart
We would pass the extra time in
The back of my beat-up car
[Chorus]
It was love
I know you know that
It was us
I wish I could go back
To sneaking around at night
And thinking we had our whole lives
It was love
I know you know that
[Verse 2]
I don't think I ever told you
I hated that it had to end
But it was two months until you
Started dating my best friend
Never mind, this is stupid
But I just have to say
Even though I know you're married
I think about you every day
[Chorus]
It was love
I know you know that
It was us
I wish I could go back
To sneaking around at night
And thinking we had our whole lives
It was love
I know you know that
It was love
I know you know that
It was us
I wish I could go back
To sneaking around at night
And thinking we had our whole lives
It was love
I know you know that
[Interlude]
[Outro]
It was love
It was us
It was love
It was us
Sneaking around at night
And thinking we had our whole lives
It was love
I know you know that
