I found a dusty notebook in my closet yesterday
Filled with silly doodles from a class in mid-May
A pressed four-leaf clover and your name in a heart
It all came rushing back a brand new start
We were sitting in the bleachers watching the football team
You were living in the daydreams of my fifteen
Sneaking looks across the room in Chemistry
You were the only element that made sense to me
And the bell would ring and my heart would take flight
Just to find you waiting in the hallway light
Oh we were young and dumb and brilliantly bright
Living in a world of golden light
Sneaking kisses underneath the stadium stands
Holding onto moments with our innocent hands
And I'd do it all again yeah I'd do it all the same
Just to hear you whisper my name in that old school game
You're my sweet sweet time capsule sealed up tight
A burst of pure joy in the dead of the night
Remember how we'd share a single pair of headphones
Listening to our song on the bus ride home
You borrowed my hoodie and you never gave it back
I guess I knew right then there was nothing we'd lack
We made promises we thought would never bend
Thinking that the summer would never end
You were my first slow dance my first real kiss
My first taste of everlasting bliss
And the world was a song and we knew every line
I was so completely yours and you were mine
Oh we were young and dumb and brilliantly bright
Living in a world of golden light
Sneaking kisses underneath the stadium stands
Holding onto moments with our innocent hands
And I'd do it all again yeah I'd do it all the same
Just to hear you whisper my name in that old school game
You're my sweet sweet time capsule sealed up tight
A burst of pure joy in the dead of the night
Now life is moving faster it's a complicated race
But I sometimes drift back to that simpler place
Where the biggest worry was a pop quiz score
And loving you was all I needed more
Oh we were YOUNG and DUMB and BRILLIANTLY BRIGHT!(Harmonies: So bright!)
Living in a world of golden light!(Harmonies: Golden light!)
Sneaking kisses underneath the stadium stands!(Harmonies: Oh-oh!)
Holding onto moments with our innocent hands!
And I'd do it all again yeah I'd do it all the same!
Just to hear you whisper my name!
You're my sweet sweet time capsule!(Harmonies: Time capsule!)
A burst of pure joy forever in my heart you'll stay!
(Outro)
(Oh forever you'll stay)
(My sweet time capsule)
