lyrics

VERSE
At ten fifty-three on a Saturday night
I sat aboard a train
Reading The History of Love in an empty car
Knowing I'd never be the same.

VERSE
At ten fifty-seven I thought back to the heaven
That was when I was with her,
And I listened to my mind where her voice played for a time
Until I couldn't make out the words.

CHORUS
We were lovers for a year,
But I loved her long before.
She knew every bit of me.
I knew every bit of her,
And every day I loved her more.

VERSE
At eleven thirteen I smiled at the thought
That we were still on good terms
After the cheating and the lying and the hurting and the crying.
It was a lesson that we learned.

VERSE
At eleven eighteen I wrote the lesson on a page:
That love is stronger than will,
And the faint attempts at hate were just a way to mediate
The hole we thought we had to fill.

CHORUS
We were lovers for a year,
But I loved her long before.
She knew every bit of me.
I knew every bit of her,
And every day I loved her more.

VERSE
At eleven twenty-five with just one stop till I arrived
Back on campus for the night
I knew our love would still be strong until the both of us were gone,
Cause we had given up the fight.

CHORUS
We were lovers for a year,
But I loved her long before.
She knew every bit of me.
I knew every bit of her,
And every day I loved her more.

Still every day I love her more.
