I see her standing there
On the sidelines
Hazel brown eyes
Under blue skies
She would never know that I let go of all my plans that day
Trying not to stare
Got me tongue-tied
What a surprise
Didn't realize
She would take my life and make it right the second she said "hey"
Theresa, I knew it's only been a couple days
But I love you in every single way there is to love someone
Theresa, I know they're gonna chase us left and right
But if you ever ask me to spend the night
I won't run
Now we're making plans
In the background
Hiding out loud
Live for right now
Never have I ever said forever but I can't erase
And your father's mad
But what's new?
He don't accept you
Like he's supposed to
If he kicks you out we'll get a house and teach our kids some day
That they can't pray a love like this away
Theresa, I know it's only been a couple months
But my journal seems to think that you're the one
So who's to say it's wrong?
Theresa, I know that they keep chasing left and right
But they'll never catch the dream of you and I
So I won't run
Flash forward seventy years
I know your favorite takeout orders and your ten biggest fears
You know I'm fragile and afraid of what's to come
But we both know our story lasts, because this love is love
This love is love
Theresa, I know that it's been one hell of a ride
But without you how could I live in this life or learn to love someone
Theresa, whenever you get to the other side
Know that I'll be there with my arms open wide
And we can run
And we can run
