lyrics

I was only seventeen when I first saw you
walking 'round the school looking cool
you were super tall sometimes I only saw your head
my favorite days were the ones when you wore that green shirt

when I saw you with a guitar case on your back
love struck
like a lightning

and we had a long distance relationship
for a year
(but I was unaware of it)

we had a long distance relationship
we lived in the same town
but not in the same state of mind

cause you didn't know who I was
you didn't know I wrote in my diary about you a lot
you didn't know I was internet stalking you
and that talking to you was on top of my list of fears

in your dreams we were kissing
in your life I was missing

and I wrote,
this love it's not valid
it's just like when we were twelve
and had pictures of Leonardo Dicaprio on the wall

and I wrote,
this love it's not valid
it's just a stupid teen crush without meaning

but I came to my senses after a long time
I thought,
I should do something drastic
and see what happens

but before I did that,
we had a long distance relationship
for a year
(but I was unaware of it)

we had a long distance relationship
in my mind
(I was unaware of it)
