Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was killing time by the old gym door
With a paper cup and a borrowed coat
Then you came through with your friends in a rush
And the whole room seemed to turn your way
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “You don’t remember me?”
I laughed, said, “I’m afraid I don’t”
You knew my name from years ago
I never knew we’d meet again
[Chorus]
Mary, you were laughing like you’d brought the summer in
One small hello and everything began again
I wasn’t looking, I was halfway out the door
Then you were there, and I wanted nothing more
Mary, if that night could find us where we are
I’d take the long way back beneath the same old stars
[Verse 2]
We walked past the diner, past the closing signs
Trading little pieces of our younger lives
You knew the kid who missed the school bus home
I met the girl you’d grown into alone
[Pre-Chorus]
The street went quiet, time ran fast
Your hand brushed mine; I hoped it’d last
A thousand plans I hadn’t made
All changed beneath that pale blue shade
[Chorus]
Mary, you were laughing like you’d brought the summer in
One small hello and everything began again
I wasn’t looking, I was halfway out the door
Then you were there, and I wanted nothing more
Mary, if that night could find us where we are
I’d take the long way back beneath the same old stars
[Bridge]
Maybe chance is just a door left open wide
Maybe all our years were gathering outside
I still keep that evening folded in my mind
A little worn around the edges, still alive
[Final Chorus]
Mary, you were laughing like you’d brought the summer in
One small hello and everything began again
I wasn’t looking, I was halfway out the door
Then you were there, and I wanted nothing more
Mary, if that night could find us where we are
I’d take the long way back beneath the same old stars
[Outro]
You knew me then, I know you now
I’d meet you there somehow
That night, that night
I’d live it all again
