Puppy Love and Heavier Lines

Verse 1

Met you in the hallway back in June

Your laughter shared a smile beneath the moon

We carved our names inside the old oak tree

I swore that you were everything to me

Verse 2

We passed our notes in class behind the rows

We dreamed of all the places we would go

Your hand in mine on every summer lane

I never thought we'd ever feel the rain

Chorus

Puppy love we thought would never end

Two young hearts that promised to be friends

But life came in and drew its heavier line

And pulled us down a different kind of time

Verse 3

The letters stopped the phone don't ring no more

The door you held is shut and bolted sore

I packed my bags for cities far away

You chose a path I couldn't make you stay

Verse 4

I watched the seasons turn without your name

The photographs still whisper of our flame

Some choices broke the threads we used to tie

And left two strangers staring at the sky

Chorus

Puppy love we thought would never end

Two young hearts that promised to be friends

But life came in and drew its heavier line

And pulled us down a different kind of time

Bridge

If I could turn the clock right back to then

I'd hold that day and never leave again

But young and blind we answered what we chose

And somewhere in the middle love just froze

Chorus

Puppy love we thought would never end

Two young hearts that promised to be friends

But life came in and drew its heavier line

And pulled us down a different kind of time

Verse 5

Sometimes I see your face inside a crowd

And sing the old familiar song out loud

I hope you found the peace you went to find

The boy you knew still loves you in his mind

Chorus

Puppy love we thought would never end

Two young hearts that promised to be friends

But life came in and drew its heavier line

And pulled us down a different kind of time
