[Verse 1]
Last time I fell in love I was sixteen
A little ol' boy with some big ol' dreams
Then she headed west for this Hollywood thing
Love didn't work out like it seemed
I begged her to stay but I had no means
Stood there in my cowboy hat and my favorite jeans
And every night at 8, she's on TV
But for me, things didn’t work out like they seemed

[Chorus]
You deserve the best
And I'll miss you slow
'Cause life's moving faster
Faster than before
When we wеre young, we had time
Fеlt seconds last forever
But what I never knew
Was how much time we'd have together
How much time we'd have together

[Verse 2]
Fake cowboys on the TV screen
Kissing the girl of my dreams
I thought by now, you’d come back to me
But I’m just another young man in that scene
I’d give the world for such a sight to see
And just as I have you here awake from that deep sleep
[Chorus]
You deserve the best
And I'll miss you slow
'Cause life's moving faster
Faster than before
When we were young, we had time
Felt seconds last forever
But what I never knew
Was how much time we'd have together
How much time we'd have together

[Post-Chorus]
I wish I knew
I wish I knew back then how much time we’d have together
Oh, baby
Oh, baby, yeah

[Outro]
As the time keeps rolling by
I’m screaming
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
As that good old time goes by
Screaming yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
