Ahead of Our Time

Girl, on paper, you and me were a perfect lit match
Like a spark in the dark that we couldn't make last
But it wasn't 'cause we didn't try
Like throwin' water on a wildfire

We were off, we were on, you were here when I was gone
Yeah, we had a lotta rights but we still got it wrong
Guess there wasn't nothing we could do
But when I think about me and you
We were just

Too young, too fast, too wild and free
To pay attention to the "What if it was meant to be?"
Taste of heaven was a hell of a ride
I'd be lyin' if I didn't say I
Get to wondering if you wonder what could've been
If we'da finished what we started on way back when
If we'da met now, would've it've been right?
Maybe we were just ahead, ahead of our time (ahead of our time)

It's been years since we talked, since you told me never change
And I guess my heart listened 'cause it still feels the same
Way it did that night we walked away
Wish I could hit the ground running back to yesterday
When we were

Too young, too fast, too wild and free
To pay attention to the "What if it was meant to be?"
Taste of heaven was a hell of a ride
I'd be lyin' if I didn't say I
Get to wondering if you wonder what could've been
If we'da finished what we started on way back when
If we'da met now, would've it've been right?
Maybe we were just ahead, ahead of our time
Ahead of our time

The kind of love you've never seen before
I guess the world wasn't ready for
Girl, we were

Too young, too fast, too wild and free
To pay attention to the "What if it was meant to be?"
Taste of heaven was a hell of a ride
I'd be lyin' if I didn't say I
Get to wondering if you wonder what could've been
If we'da finished what we started on way back when
If we'da met now, would've it've been right?
Maybe we were just ahead, ahead of our time
Ahead of our time
Yeah, ahead of our time, yeah
Baby, we were just ahead, ahead of our time
