lyrics

We used to play pirates
Just kids on the playground
Too young to be nervous
Just carefree and wild
Fueled by a fire
I climbed up higher
But I lost my grip
And fell hard on the ground

And I got the wind knocked right out of me
Till I couldn’t breathe at all
I got the wind knocked right out of me
Till I couldn’t breathe
Till I couldn’t breathe

I still remember
The first time I saw you
A midnight in August
You were singing your songs
And there in the darkness
I could barely see you
But it didn’t matter
I was already gone

Cause I got the wind knocked right out of me
Till I couldn’t breathe at all
I got the wind knocked right out of me
Till I couldn’t breathe at all

Is there such thing
As love at first sight
Well I don’t know if I fell in love that night
But what does it mean
When someone takes your breath away

Now I keep reliving
The night you stayed over
The moon found me lying
Beside you in bed
You turned in your sleep
And put your arm around me
And I was a child in playground again

Cause I got the wind knocked right out of me
Till I couldn’t breathe at all
I got the wind knocked right out of me
Till I couldn’t breathe
Till I couldn’t breathe
