1000 Times A Day

A thousand times a day I tell you I love the way you sing

Even though it makes me cry, it’s my favorite time to be alive

And all I know is I feel lost without you

“I miss you” is not enough

I know the story’s old; it’s been told a million times before

But to tell it feels so good

It reminds me that not all I do is right

And all I know is I feel so lost without you

Now I remember the day I was a kid in 8th grade

Your friend tapped me on my shoulder and asked if I would be your boyfriend

Oh, yeah, we were intense then

We would walk and hold hands

You were taller than me then I got a friend to tell you that

I didn’t wanna be anymore

Oh, no, not anymore

So then for 3 more years we would never talk

And I’m not gonna lie though, I couldn’t stop thinking about you

Then your best friends came over and I got them to call you

To see if you wanted to watch the band play “Dude Ranch”

I knew that that would impress you

So then we got to talking and before we knew it we were always on the phone

Talking until 4 in the morning

Yeah, there was only one problem

Now, I never knew your man, never talked to him

And still to this day I feel bad for it, but I knew that I loved you

And I knew that I had to do something

So I waited till the day that you broke up with him

We had a barbeque at our friend Jim’s

Then we strolled to the backyard and that’s where we shared our first kiss

Then you watched the band play with all your friends

And we played our set of Millencolin and Choking Victim

I guess that didn’t impress you

‘Cause then an hour later between you and your friends

You told me that you didn’t want to be anymore

Oh, no, not anymore

But then a while later we got back together

And we told each other we would be forever

And since that day we had our share of problems

And now we know that it’s hard but better together

Oh, yeah, it’s better together

So now we have a house and a couple pets

We’re even getting married 9 years after it

And every time I see you

I still hear trumpets
