Lyrics Can't Help - Ethan Young

Yeah
This is the story
Seems like it was yesterday
Take me back to seventh grade
Sipping lemonade in the shade
With the girl I would persuade
To sneak out when the night fell
And be a little reckless
Do the things that friends do and be back home for breakfast
And neither of our parents knew cause we would play it cool
About all the adventures we would have outside of school
This was back into the days when she would lay up on my chest then
Talk about the guys she liked that she would stay up textin
Times were pretty simple she was really just my best friend
Till I started feeling something I was not expecting
We would go play night games as soon as it'd get dark
Me and her would sneak out late at night to stargaze in the park
I was just a stupid kid who thought that he was really smart
I knew everything there was to know except for my own heart
She came over to my house she'd been there many times before
We did homework, watched a movie then she headed out the door
She must have smiled at my father like she was his own daughter
Cause he looked at me and chuckled while I got a drink of water
He said "wow son she's beautiful she's really growing up"
I said "stop pops I'm throwing up that's enough"
I knew what he was thinking when he left me with a wink and
I said stop it, just drop it, and change the topic
I'm never gonna let this girl pick my hearts locket

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
You know the time went on and we got older I was still a fool
It was summer so she asked if I'd go with her to the pool
Things were different now but only because when she smiled at me
It would make me get all nervous but it also made me happy
And then what's next, I must confess
Something happened in my stomach when I seen her in that sundress
Suddenly I had the butterflies and I could care a ton less
If people knew that this girl made my heart beat like a drum set
I sat and stared in disbelief that just a couple summers later
I was looking at my best friend thinking that I wanna date her
And the days went by she liked my too and tension built between us
We were dancing with each other like a couple ballerinas
We'd be flirting while at school and holding hands at track meets
And when it got dark on the ride home we would slip into the back seat
Cause we were more than friends and we were more than fellow athletes
Of course she tried to ask me like what if coaches catch me
I told her that the rules suck and kissed her on the school bus
And everyday we'd fall a little deeper into love
Cause I can't help it, I felt it, my heart melted
