Something People Say

I heard a symphony
When he started talkin'
First sight, time stop kinda thing
The moment he walked in
Told my mama we’re in love
She said you’re too young to feel that way
But that’s just something people say
That truck we rode around in
Has lost some of its polish
We watch leaves fall three times
And I went off to college
He said I’ll call you every day
Nothin' 'bout us is gonna change
But that’s just something people say
Maybe we meant it
And maybe we didn’t
Maybe our words are just
Umbrellas for the rain
I didn’t think I’d ever see the day
That «I love you» would turn into
Just something people say
My tear-filled can’t take back
Wish I never met you
It all fell out so fast
As a foolish response to
His we ain’t breaking up
We’re just takin' a little break
'Cause that’s just something people say
Maybe we meant it
And maybe we didn’t
Maybe our words are just
Umbrellas for the rain
I didn’t think I’d ever see the day
That «I love you» would turn into
Just something people say
If I saw you out
Somewhere downtown
Would I use «good to see you»
As an umbrella for the rain
I didn’t think I’d ever see the day
That «I love you» would turn into
Just something people say
Something people say
