[Verse 1] We were young and restless, all heart, no brakes Married on a Friday, couldn't bear to wait Wore those rings like we'd figured it out Didn't know what forever was all about You had a dream in a far-off town I had my own I couldn't lay down Two years in, we had to face the truth We had love, but we both needed room [Pre-Chorus] We cried on the porch till the morning came Neither one of us had someone to blame Signed those papers, held each other tight Said we'd stay friends, and we meant it that night [Chorus] We weren't wrong, we were just early Put forever in a hurry Two big dreams in a one-room life No room left to get it right We let go, but we stayed friends Still in love when we called it the end We weren't wrong, we were just early Love was ready, we weren't yet [Verse 2] Eight years later, at a friend's cookout I heard your laugh across the yard We talked until the last car left About how growing up was hard You'd found the things you went out chasing I'd done the same, and we'd both changed But when we talked about tomorrow We were headed the same way [Pre-Chorus 2] Your hand found mine beneath that porch light That old feeling was still alive You said, "Guess we needed all those miles" I said, "Maybe we just needed time" [Chorus] We weren't wrong, we were just early Put forever in a hurry Two big dreams in a one-room life No room left to get it right We let go, but we stayed friends Still in love when we called it the end We weren't wrong, we were just early Love was ready, we weren't yet [Bridge] I don't call those years a mistake We needed every mile we made Had to learn who we could be To give each other room to breathe You said, "What if we try once more? We've been down this road before" I said, "Girl, there's one thing I know is true I never stopped loving you" [Final Chorus] We weren't wrong, we were just early Put forever in a hurry Now two big dreams can share one life We've got the time to get it right Eight years gone, and here we stand Same old love with steadier hands We weren't wrong, we were just early Love was ready, and now we are [Outro] We didn't lose what we once had Just took the long way getting back And if you'd ask me to begin again I'd marry my best friend again Yeah, we weren't wrong... We were just early back then. [End]
