We Were Girls Lyrics by Grace Power

Weeping Willow

2024

[Verse 1]
LAX, and the sun was asleep
Four girls in brand-new cities
All at once, I feel it hit me
I'm scared to know what just two years could change
What if when they see me, it won't feel the same?
Watch the fields turn to quilts, my heart's still in your pocket
And coming home, this place we built's my favorite
[Chorus]
Flying pigtails in the front of our lawns
Four-leaf clovers, Valentine cards
You were there the day my innocence died
We were girls, we had the time of our lives
Replacing cuss words in our favoritе songs
Bringing them back when the grown-ups wеre gone
We were eight, sixteen, twenty-three
We were girls together
[Verse 2]
Now we drive down Willow Street
You're telling me about your family
And the next you thought you'd marry
It's a bittersweet feeling, knowing you have what you need
When all of your memories feel like a movie to me
Watch the fields start to blur, one look brings me right back
Life's for loving you, I'm sure of that
[Chorus]
Flying pigtails in the front of our lawns
Four-leaf clovers, Valentine cards
You were there the day my innocence died
We were girls, we had the time of our lives
Replacing cuss words in our favorite songs
Bringing them back when the grown-ups were gone
We were eight, sixteen, twenty-three
We were girls together
[Bridge]
Say you remember playing dance captains for the day
I know your first crush's first and last name
You remember, I know you remember
I remember your cursive heart over your i's
You remember the first time I broke down and cried
You held me instead of lying that it would get better
I wrote in my diary I would love you forever
[Outro]
Flying pigtails
Four leaf-clovers
You were there
We were girls, we were girls
We can't go back, and we've lost too much
We know it's always the four of us
We are eight, sixteen, twenty-three
We were girls together
You and me
