Your name lights up my phone
Suddenly I'm less alone
"Love" in giggles and touches and watching, so much of you up in the library
I try not to see a future with you
We're still young, heads sewn, barely on screwed,
We're just getting older, don't know
If you'll remember my head on your shoulder past
18, 19, throw the cap, and hope we stay in touch
20, 21, calls get less frequent as we go to class
23, 25, remember that girl? She's a lawyer now!
30, 35, telling kids 'bout the boy by the playground
Don't know how long we have left
But the world goes quiet when I'm with you
I feel it fading, can you feel us fading?
Time freezes when it's just us two,
So don't let me forget you.
Your name, it leaves my mouth
Every time that I'm in doubt,
And my stomach hurts, at the jokes you make bout the grey hairs coming..
But it's funny to think that, we've been tied together
Every moment, second, choice, heart-breaking lesson, leading to this
6-18, swarming with bad dreams,
Hold my hand and see, this is where we're to be!
I've got everything and nothing at all
I'm not leaving, I'm still waiting for calls
A curled line says so much and so little I fall, into faded versions of you
18, 19, throw the cap, I'll text you to say in touch
20, 21, won't let calls dissipate, yeah i'll follow up
23, 25, remember me? I'm a singer now
30, 35, you back on my shoulder, on our family couch!
40, 45, mid-life pains, red wine, I'm feeling alive
50, 56, am I crazy for thinking we have this?
60, 70, found grey hairs you joked I had at 18
80, 90, growing old... alone... are you forgetting me?
Don't know how long we have left
But the world goes quiet when I'm with you
I feel you fading, do I let you fade?
Time freezes when it's just us two,
So don't make me forget you.
