KickBend – lyrics - High School Sweetheart

High school sweetheart ~ it’s been seven long years since the big world stole you away ~ but it seems like a lifetime i’ve been waitin’ for this day ~ tell me how you've been, tell me what you've done ~ tell me everything and anything ~ i’d listen ‘til the sun comes up ~ so you met someone, and he broke your heart ~ baby now i guess i’d be that one to say i knew it from the start ~ but i’ll play the part for my high school sweetheart ~ little has changed since the big world stole you away ~ i’m still workin’ at the yard, got a raise just the other day ~ and it’s all the same ‘cause it don't mean much ~ when i’m driving down the boulevard ~ and thinking ‘bout when we first touched ~ or i pass the spot where we used to park and you talked about the things we'd do ~ and how we'd never be apart ~ yeah i played the part for my high school sweetheart ~ but you had dreams of leavin’ this town ~ since you were a little girl ~ yeah you just had to see what goes on ~ somewhere halfway ‘round the world ~ so many times i'd look up in the sky pick a star and think of you ~ wonderin’ where you are if you're lookin’ at the same one, too ~ and now here you stand with your hand in mine ~ your face, your eyes, your hair, your smile ~ are turnin’ back the hands of time ~ it’s like we're at the spot where we used to park ~ you're talking ‘bout the things we'll do ~ and how we'll never be apart ~ and i still play the part for my high school sweetheart ~ oh won't you be my high school sweetheart, again?
