Something that happened to me, not necessarily in the same order as in the song.
Lyrics
I was 17, so young
You were older 21
At a party you were high
I took you home you couldn’t drive
I drove you to your sister’s farm
And spent the night out in your car
When I met you
When I met you
Was it the place or the time?
Was it from too much sweet wine?
Or something we had hoped to find?
In the morning you got stoned
Cooked me eggs and drove me home
You said you’d see me later on
Then kissed my cheek and you were gone
As I stumbled through the day
My colors ran to shades of gray
When I met you
When I met you
Was it the place or the time?
Was it from too much sweet wine?
Or something we had hoped to find?
Through the winter into spring
It became a steady thing
I stayed with you every night
Sometimes we’d laugh sometimes we’d fight
We knew our futures were miscast
We knew our future couldn’t last
When I met you
When I met you
Was it the place or the time?
Was it from too much sweet wine?
Or something we had hoped to find?
Summer came and I left town
There was no point in staying ‘round
You drove me to the interstate
I caught a ride without much wait
When I leaned out to wave goodbye
You were trying not to cry
When I met you
When I met you
Was it the place or the time?
Was it from too much sweet wine?
Or something we had hoped to find?
When I met you
When I met you
