Sneakin' out our windows in July
Just like we're runaways
Rebels in the night
We felt like all the world was ours to take
But those days are over
Time goes by and people change
Even though we're older
Takes me back each time I see your face
Underneath the lilac
In the backseat of your car
Over by the river
Starin' at the northern star
I can't count the places
That I fell for you over again
But underneath the lilac
That's the one I won't forget
They cut down that oak tree
Where we carved our names so long ago
The river's all dammed up
But darling what I feel for you still flows
Yeah, those days are over
Time went by and we both changed
But even though we're older
I still love you like the first damn day
It takes me back to
Underneath the lilac
In the backseat of your car
Over by the river
Starin' at the northern star
I can't count the places
That I fell for you over again
But underneath the lilac
That's the one I won't forget
The one I won't forget
It takes me back to
Underneath the lilac
In the backseat of your car
Over by the river
Starin' at the northern star
I can't count the places
That I fell for you over again
But underneath the lilac
That's the one I won't forget
The one I won't forget
