One college summer, under a sweltering sun
I saw the game end before it even begun
She was mid-court magic in a deep red dress
The ball took a bounce, left her in a mess
I reached for her hand as she hit the floor
One look at her soft cheeks, and I was asking for more.
Found a table at the restaurant down the street
She sat across from me, turning up the heat
A little bit of flirting, those brown eyes so deep
I had a heart and a secret I couldn’t keep
The next few months, man, I was easy to find
Wherever she went, I was two steps behind.
Yeah! Sparks flew wild at the New Year’s bash
Like a lightning bolt, like a physical crash
From the first real kiss to the late-night calls
To the Pizza Hut dates and the talk in the halls
I spent my youth just chasing you ’round
And I’ll be chasing you forever in the life we found.
Yeah! Sparks flew wild at the New Year’s bash
Like a lightning bolt, like a physical crash
From the first real kiss to the late-night calls
To the Pizza Hut dates and the talk in the halls
I spent my youth just chasing you ’round
And I’ll be chasing you forever in the life we found.
Now the scene has shifted, the years flew fast
From the college halls to the days that last
I’m a taxi driver for swimming and gym
Living the sequel—and I’m all in!
Piano scales and a clarinet tune
Starbucks runs in the afternoon
I see her in their smiles, in the things that they do
A piece of the girl in the dress coming through
And I’m so glad I followed, I’m glad that I stayed
The best damn decision I ever made.
Yeah! Sparks flew wild at the New Year’s bash
Like a lightning bolt, like a physical crash
From the first real kiss to the late-night calls
To the Pizza Hut dates and the talk in the halls
I spent my youth just chasing you ’round
And I’ll be chasing you forever in the life we found.
Now every Valentine’s, for the rest of my years
Through the laughter, the growth, and the happy tears
I’ve got three beautiful girls to hold in my sight
Yeah, the sparks are still flying tonight.
I’m chasing you forever…
