When We Were Us

[Verse]
The bell rang loud for the final time
We laughed
We cried
We crossed the line
The world feels wide
But our town feels small
How do I hold on when we’ve had it all

[Prechorus]
The lockers are empty
The halls echo back
Memories linger in the space we now lack

[Chorus]
When we were us
The world stood still
Every moment felt like a thrill
Now the days stretch out
The nights grow long
I’ll miss your voice in every song
When we were us
When we were free
You were the best part of me

[Verse 2]
The yearbooks close
The ink won’t fade
But time will pull us far away
Your smile’s a snapshot in my mind
A piece of forever I’ll always find

[Bridge]
Who will I call when the stars don’t shine
Who’ll be my laugh in the pouring rain
No map to guide where our paths will wind
But my heart will carry your name

[Chorus]
When we were us
The world stood still
Every moment felt like a thrill
Now the days stretch out
The nights grow long
I’ll miss your voice in every song
When we were us
When we were free
You were the best part of me
