Caroline called me and said, “There’s a girl you should meet, but she lives far away.”
I heard your voice and I knew I had no other choice but to jump on a plane
You dropped out of college when 500 dollars was all that you had to your name
Who knew in no time you would be taking mine, down the aisle to Lana Del Rey?
I’ve been off my head
Since the night we met
And you look so amazing
Sometimes I forget
To catch my breath
Catch my breath
Catch my breath
Sometimes I forget
To remember the start, living out of that car
Saving up just to buy gasoline
Back when everyone told you that you should run
You jumped in the passenger seat
Can’t believe how far we made it
Have all I want, but I’m praying
We’re lucky enough ’cause I star-tearing up
When I think of the mother you’ll be
I’ve been off my head
Off my head
Since the night we met
Night we met
And you look so amazing
Sometimes I forget
To catch my breath
It all happened so fast
Catch my breath
I forget to look back
Catch my breath
Meet you right where we’re at
Catch my breath
I’ve been off my head
Since the night we met
And you look so amazing
Sometimes I forget
To catch my breath
I’ve been off my head
Off my head
Since the night we met
Night we met
And you look so amazing
Sometimes I forget
To catch my breath
It all happened so fast
Catch my breath
I forget to look back
Catch my breath
Meet you right where we’re at
Sometimes I forget
