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.
