lyrics

There’s nothing more I like than when we’re laughing with tears in our eyes
But when I’m crying it’s fine cause we feel that way all the time
Remember the time we threw a birthday party on a Sunday night
I looked at you and I told you that I don’t want the sun to rise

Is this the way it is? We’ve thought this way since were kids
Feeling like I’m just living for next year
Maybe down the road I’ll be ready to go
But I’m so scared that when we grow old this will all slip away
I hate to think that we’re just killing time

Not one lap around the sun, things will get harder when this is all done
The worst part of loving someone is knowing when to run

Is this the way it is? We’ve thought this way since were kids
Feeling like I’m just living for next year
Maybe down the road I’ll be ready to go
But I’m so scared that when we grow old this will all slip away
I hate to think that we’re just killing time

3 a.m. kitchen light
Won’t leave my mind
I’m seeing stars protect my heart from the thought of us apart
Is this the way it is? We’ve thought this way since were kids
Feeling like I’m just living for next year
Maybe down the road I’ll be ready to go
But I’m so scared that when we grow old this will all slip away
I hate to think that we’re just killing time
