    A simple love song I wrote one night in a dorm room after watching "The Wedding Singer". Only four chords and deceptively simple lyrics; still, people have said that this is their favorite song of mine. It's also the opening track on my debut album, "4 years".

    Story Behind the Song
    The lyrics of this song are pretty vague, meant to convey a feeling more than anything else. I wrote it pretty quickly, in one night, in fact, and I just wanted to capture that nice, romantic feeling that you get from a movie, a sunset, and other things that are so commonplace and profound that we can only dismiss them as corny.
    One last note: This song will be appreciated most if listened to on a rainy day!

    Lyrics
    We met before the sun went down,
    When the sky was rosy, the leaves were brown, uh-huh
    Every Tuesday it would be the same,
    And I didn’t even know your name, uh-huh
    I asked you for the numbers and you didn’t think twice,
    Well you always went against good advice, uh-huh
    I’d volunteer for anything you want me to do
    And I was thanking God I saw the world again in you
    And I was remembering all the things, the things I thought I knew
    I still remember the time – I fell in love with you
    We met before the world was young,
    When all these songs had yet to be sung, uh-huh
    Winter came and the rain fell down, and
    I was walking into town, uh-huh
    You drove right by and you gave me a ride, and
    I had to get in and swallow my pride, uh-huh
    And I was feeling lonely
    And I was feeling pain
    And I was walking home from class
    in the dirt and the muck and the rain
    And I looked up and saw you there
    You were walking the other way
    You skipped your class that day
