But It Was

Two lovers on the beach
Sun tan lines and sandy feet
I remember laughin' so hard
I could barely breathe
There were never ending promises
No, forever, wasn't ever said
I just knew when summer ended
So would we

It was almost too perfect
Too good to be true
Moving way too fast to last
It'd be over way too soon
It was how easy I was fallin'
How you made me feel
There wasn't any way
That it could be real love
But it was…

That August night was almost gone
You'd be leaving with the dawn
Till the very last moment
I was holdin' on
Goodbye kisses on our lips
Your hand slipped through my fingertips
And I still cried even though I knew it all along

It was almost too perfect
Too good to be true
Moving way too fast to last
It'd be over way too soon
It was how easy I was fallin
How you made me feel
There wasn't any way
That it could be real love
But it was

It was everything I ever thought it could be
When I look back on us it feels just like it was a dream

It was almost too perfect
Too good to be true
Moving way too fast to last
It'd be over way too soon
It was how easy I was fallin
How you made me feel
There wasn't any way
That it could be real love
But it was…
