Lyrics
22 and you still running through my mind
Reflecting on the persistent presence of thoughts about a person at the age of 22.
Every time you take my hand I'm back in time

Love don't lose its shine, but no not mine

Cause you'll still take me to 22 and you

22 and you had my jacket around your waist
