We Are Who We Are, People Don't Change

Do you remember when we first met
My hands were all shaky
I couldn't find the words to tell you
And you were laughing at me

Was it a friday afternoon
When we met at a cafe on Applebee
I was hiding a rose behind me
When you took one out suddenly

We were driving back to your apartment
It was 3 o'clock in the morning
You said 'it's late, let's make it early'
And we watched the Sun rising up from the sea

Do you remember the day when I told you
'Babe I love you, let's move in together'
You cracked up and told me to get real
But brought your stuff in the next morning

How many movies did we watch that week-end
We locked the doors and left the rest of the world out
But couldn't resist when it started raining
Then came back wet for a crazy love making

Am I imagining all this
Or did everything change
Am I dreaming right now
Or are you at your friend's place

We are who we are, people don't change
You once said to me
And I believed every word of it
We are who we are, I will love you always
You once said to me
But right now these words seem so hazy
