But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you
Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you

Everything fades
Everything dies
Put me in a vase, but you can't
You can't stop time

It's not 1999
But this face is still mine
The way you look at me
I swear my heart hits rewind

But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you
Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you
If someone comes along and tries to take you, tries to make you
Don't let 'em change your mind
Wonder why you took a risk
On a broken heart you cannot fix
No, I never knew a love like this
Now I'm picking purple irises

I got you
And you got me
And do you still think I'm pretty?
And are you happy?

It's not 2014
But you still look good in those jeans
Lookin' in the mirror
Do you see what I see?

But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you
Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you
If someone comes along and tries to take you, tries to make you
Don't let 'em change your mind
Wonder why you took a risk
On a broken heart you cannot fix
No, I never knew a love like this
Now I'm picking purple irises

And we're blooming into the change
I'm overthinking it
Picking purple irises
And leaving love stains
I got violet memories
I'm overthinking it
Oh, and leaving love stains
Love stains

But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you
Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you
If someone comes along and tries to take you, tries to make you
Don't let 'em change your mind
Oh, if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you
Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you
If someone comes along and tries to take you, tries to make you
Don't let 'em change your mind
Wonder why you took a risk
On a broken heart you cannot fix
No, I never knew a love like this
Now I'm picking purple irises
