I was young, he was old |
|
An' we both were the same age |
|
Everyday, playin' fetch |
|
Shakin' hands, he'd lick my face |
|
And I was unaware |
|
The day would come |
|
An' when he died, for the first time |
|
I knew what real pain was |
|
And I never was the same again |
|
From that moment on, real life began |
|
Senior high, girlfriends |
|
Football games, graduation |
|
Summer break, spend my time |
|
Fillin' out applications |
|
A few superficial years went by |
|
They were all a blur |
|
And in the most unlikely situation |
|
There you were, yeah |
|
And I never was the same again |
|
From that moment on, real life began |
|
With you, with you |
|
By your side, scared to death |
|
Felt the pain you were fightin' |
|
Placed my palm on your head |
|
Spoke your name, just keep tryin' |
|
An' then you closed your eyes |
|
An' took one last breath |
|
And when it was over, you looked up |
|
Laid our baby across your breast |
|
And I never was the same again |
|
From that moment on, real life began |
|
End |
