The summer before you
I thought love was Shakespearean
More or less a painful experience
Only ever real if you're delirious

The summer before you
I let it take up very little oxygen
Not where I'd rest my head more like an ottoman
Never had someone like you treat me like Solomon

But little did I know
You would be the one I'd confide in
Learn how to try with
Little did I know
It was you before I ever decided
Oh, little did I know
Oh, little did I know

The summer before you
You can't spell drama without consonance
And I admit I usually was the cause of it
Now here we are you've got me changing all of it
Slow me down I want you too
It's different when it comes to you, hey, hey

But little did I know
You would be the one I'd confide in, learn how to try with
Little did I know
It was you before I ever decided
Yeah, little did I know
You would be the one that would save me, learn how to change me
Little did I know
Ooh, just look at you, can you blame me?
Oh, little did I know
Oh, little did I know

The summer before you
I thought love was Shakespearean
More or less a painful experience
Only ever real if you're delirious

But little did I know
You would be the one I'd confide in
Learn how to try with
Little did I know
It was you before I ever decided
Oh, little did I know
You would be the one that would save me, learn how to change me
Little did I know
Ooh, just look at you, can you blame me?
Oh (yeah), little did I know (did I know)
Oh, little did I know (did I know)

Oh, little did I know that it could feel like this (yeah)
Oh, little every time I got you on my lips
The summer before you
