Should Have Kissed

about

It was my first year of college. Sometimes when you're having trouble getting over someone, a special person comes along and helps you feel something you haven't felt in a while, something old, a crush. When you know that person is leaving soon and you can't be together, you can really appreciate every second you share with them. Six years later she remembered me, she remembered that night, and she loved this song I wrote about it when I shared it with her. It's not often things come full circle like this, but I can tell you that when it does it's beautiful.

lyrics

fall came around I was so new in town
I came when they asked me to
(what did I have to lose?)
I felt like a ghost to them

she found me, we worked inseparably
we talked for a while
(there was no awkward silence)
and then I felt something old

I should have kissed her on the dance floor
I should have kissed her on the dance floor

but I wanted to stretch things out
as long as I could
and I just wasn't ready to get over her

evening came, we got some food we drank
we took two hours and we made them ours
and then I danced with her

she had eyes full of times I was never a part of
like the kind that you find when you played in the yard
as a child then she's pulled from your life
like some old tragic play that we all have a part in

but I should have kissed her on the dance floor
and I should have kissed her on the dance floor

I should have kissed

because I knew before long I'd get over her

I should have kissed her on the dance floor
