| And in a moment it all came to this | |
| The time it took for your muscles to grow and grip | |
| Of all the things I've heard | |
| Why'd it have to be these words? | |
| And in a second I'll be gone and you won't have to think | |
| I got enough to keep me going, keep me from the brink | |
| As your bones grew | |
| Why did you become you? | |
| Become you? | |
| Oh, I've told you, oh, to be older | |
| You know I'm right | |
| I'm right | |
| You know these moments, they take years to pass | |
| You gotta be coping, gotta be hoping the hands fly by fast | |
| You call this true | |
| Why did you become you? | |
| Become you? | |
| See the sun rise now, this has to end | |
| Don't let it be the one to walk us home again | |
| And you know you haven't got all the answers | |
| If you did you would be screaming them out | |
| And I know I haven't got all the answers, | |
| If I did I would be screaming them out, screaming them out | |
| And in a moment it all came to this | |
| The greatest book you ever read came from my favorites list | |
| Of all the things to lose, | |
| it's you I choose. | |
| Oh, I told you, oh, to be older, | |
| You know I'm right | |
| I'm right | |
| Keep breathing, keep breathing | |
