You're the girl who'd fix up a car

Then put a dress on and go to the party

And we'd make fun of people who took life too serious

But soon enough those things started changing

And you and I started acting like strangers

And when you moved away I all but gave up hope on us



But you just kept on reaching in,

And when you came back, I just said



How could you be different from

The girl I knew back then?

You talk the same, you look the same

And you've still got that grin.

But now it seems a world of change

Has caused me to believe

If it's not you, then maybe it was me.



Well I thought when you started talking

How your mouth knew the words like a sonnet

And I just shook my head and said, No, I can't think like that

'Cause my hands would tremble to touch you

And I think you'd move if I tried to

So I'll just keep on putting on my life without you hat.



But everyday I'm closer still

To knowing you like I once did.



And how could you be different from

The girl I knew back then?

You talk the same, you look the same

And you've still got that grin.

But now it seems a world of change

Has caused me to believe

If it's not you, then maybe it was



Part of growing up, leaving things behind.

Part of losing love may be getting wise.

But when I look up, and I see your eyes,

Gives me all the hope I need to survive.



And how could you be different from

The girl I knew back then?

You talk the same, you look the same

And you've still got that grin.

But now it seems a world of change

Has caused me to believe

If it's not you, then maybe it was me.



Maybe it was me, yeah.
