Intro (x3) Verse I was watching a movie the other night on T. V. The actress reminded me of you Her attitude the way that she smiled She was doing a part girl like you used to do I do believe you played it better If it wasn’t better it was just as strong I would’ve called you up on the telephone that night But somehow girl it’d been all wrong Get in there! e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-7--7/9-7----7---------9-7---7----------------------------------------------| D|-----------9---9-7---9-----9----9-7-----------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------10--7-----------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Verse I heard you married a stranger In a horse and carriage that was covered with gold Well you wanted to be different and still fit in I wonder if you feel different at all now that you’re older Hope you didn’t lose that innocent laughter Oh God I hope time didn’t take that away All those junior high nights underneath the front porch light A good Catholic girl during the day Oh oh just watching the time grow Old enough to know that these memories can’t hurt a thing Oh oh just watching the time grow If I saw you today girl I wouldn’t even know ya Verse Well I know it wasn’t that big of a love affair But boy it sure seemed like one back then When I parlay the memories into their proper places I can see now we were no more than friends Ooh your kisses sure tasted sweet But I guess any kiss tastes sweet at fifteen I just hope your touch is as warm to your ol’ man As it seemed like it was to me Oh oh just watching the time grow Old enough to know that these memories can’t hurt a thing Oh oh just watching the time grow If I saw you today Girl if I could be with you today I wouldn’t even know ya Outro

La chanson évoque les souvenirs d’un jeune homme qui repense à une ancienne camarade. En regardant un film, il est frappé par la ressemblance entre l’actrice et elle, ce qui lui rappelle la connexion qu’ils avaient autrefois. Il laisse entrevoir des regrets, se demandant comment sa vie a évolué, notamment depuis qu’elle a épousé quelqu’un de nouveau. Malgré la nostalgie, il se rend compte que leurs moments partagés n’étaient pas vraiment une histoire d'amour, mais plutôt une belle amitié pleine de promesses et d'innocence. Le thème principal tourne autour des souvenirs d’adolescence, de la nostalgie et des changements que le temps apporte. Il y a une douce mélancolie dans le fait de voir les gens grandir et évoluer, tout en gardant une part d'eux-mêmes qui reste intacte dans notre mémoire.
