The Chorus is , , ,
We are young we have
years ahead maybe
we might fall in love
or fall apart
fall apart
Before it ends well we
should try to start
So Ill go
But Im telling you I dont
want to go
I could be stuck here and happy
Theres a puzzle I
work on endlessly
and Ive got all the sides and all the corners
But theres a space
Oh theres a space
Lost some pieces I
cant replace
So Ill be
But Im telling you I dont
want to be
Just a wasted puzzle piece
We are old and our son
took the dog away
and fair enough guess were
tired all the time
all the time
and you know dogs they need
ample time outside
So Ill stay
But Im telling you I dont
want to stay
So Ill brace myself against the wall
and hope to God that I dont fall
My bones are worn my hip wont hold
I used to be so young
How did I get so old
Wont you take my cane and hold my hand
Youre holding on to all I have
just a basket full of memories
and I am loosing more each day it seems
but if I can make it to the street
Ill steal a car or a bike
whatever there is to steal
and it might get cold I just dont care
Im going till Im getting there
Ill ride my steed all through this town
till I.........
have looked
till I have found
Your peaceful memory
Wont you return to me
Wont you return to me
